NASL family Gentoo Local Security Checks NASL id GENTOO_GLSA-201406-14.NASL description The remote host is affected by the vulnerability described in GLSA-201406-14 (Opera: Multiple vulnerabilities) Multiple vulnerabilities have been discovered in Opera. Please review the CVE identifiers referenced below for details. Impact : A remote attacker could entice a user to open a specially crafted web page using Opera, possibly resulting in execution of arbitrary code with the privileges of the process or a Denial of Service condition. Furthermore, a remote attacker may be able to obtain sensitive information, conduct Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) attacks, or bypass security restrictions. A local attacker may be able to obtain sensitive information. Workaround : There is no known workaround at this time. last seen 2020-06-01 modified 2020-06-02 plugin id 76065 published 2014-06-16 reporter This script is Copyright (C) 2014-2015 Tenable Network Security, Inc. source https://www.tenable.com/plugins/nessus/76065 title GLSA-201406-14 : Opera: Multiple vulnerabilities code # # (C) Tenable Network Security, Inc. # # The descriptive text and package checks in this plugin were # extracted from Gentoo Linux Security Advisory GLSA 201406-14. # # The advisory text is Copyright (C) 2001-2015 Gentoo Foundation, Inc. # and licensed under the Creative Commons - Attribution / Share Alike # license.
