Synopsis |
19 |
======== |
20 |
|
21 |
Multiple vulnerabilities have been discovered in Opera, allowing for |
22 |
file disclosure, privilege escalation and Cross-Site scripting. |
23 |
|
24 |
Background |
25 |
========== |
26 |
|
27 |
Opera is a fast web browser that is available free of charge. |
28 |
|
29 |
Affected packages |
30 |

Description |
38 |
=========== |
39 |
|
40 |
Mozilla discovered that Opera does not handle input to file form fields |
41 |
properly, allowing scripts to manipulate the file path (CVE-2008-1080). |
42 |
Max Leonov found out that image comments might be treated as scripts, |
43 |
and run within the wrong security context (CVE-2008-1081). Arnaud |
44 |
reported that a wrong representation of DOM attribute values of |
45 |
imported XML documents allows them to bypass sanitization filters |
46 |
(CVE-2008-1082). |
47 |
|
48 |
Impact |
49 |
====== |
50 |
|
51 |
A remote attacker could entice a user to upload a file with a known |
52 |
path by entering text into a specially crafted form, to execute scripts |
53 |
outside intended security boundaries and conduct Cross-Site Scripting |
54 |
attacks. |
55 |
|
56 |
Workaround |
57 |
========== |
58 |
|
59 |
There is no known workaround at this time. |
60 |
|
61 |
Resolution |
62 |
========== |
63 |
|
64 |
All Opera users should upgrade to the latest version: |
65 |
|
66 |
# emerge --sync |
67 |
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=www-client/opera-9.26" |
68 |
