Impact |
| 42 |
====== |
| 43 |
|
| 44 |
A remote attacker could entice a user to open a specially crafted web |
| 45 |
page using Opera, possibly resulting in execution of arbitrary code |
| 46 |
with the privileges of the process or a Denial of Service condition. |
| 47 |
Furthermore, a remote attacker may be able to trick a user into |
| 48 |
downloading and executing files, conduct Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) |
| 49 |
attacks, spoof the address bar, or have other unspecified impact. |
| 50 |
|
| 51 |

| 52 |
========== |
| 53 |
|
| 54 |

| 55 |
|
| 56 |
Resolution |
| 57 |
========== |
| 58 |
|
| 59 |
