    descriptionThe 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.

    descriptionThe version of Opera installed on the remote host is earlier than 12.12 and is, therefore, reportedly affected by the following vulnerabilities : - An error exists related to GIF image file handling that can allow heap memory corruption and can lead to application crashes or arbitrary code execution. (1038) - An error exists related to URL handling and the address bar that can allow rapid, repeated web requests to cause the incorrect URL to be displayed. (1040)
