Synopsis |
19 |
======== |
20 |
|
21 |
Opera contains three vulnerabilities, allowing an attacker to |
22 |
impersonate legitimate websites with URI obfuscation or to spoof |
23 |
websites with frame injection. |
24 |
|
25 |
Background |
26 |
========== |
27 |
|
28 |
Opera is a multi-platform web browser. |
29 |
|
30 |

Description |
39 |
=========== |
40 |
|
41 |
Opera fails to remove illegal characters from an URI of a link and to |
42 |
check that the target frame of a link belongs to the same website as |
43 |
the link. Opera also updates the address bar before loading a page. |
44 |
Additionally, Opera contains a certificate verification problem. |
45 |
|
46 |
Impact |
47 |
====== |
48 |
|
49 |
These vulnerabilities could allow an attacker to impersonate legitimate |
50 |
websites to steal sensitive information from users. This could be done |
51 |
by obfuscating the real URI of a link or by injecting a malicious frame |
52 |
into an arbitrary frame of another browser window. |
53 |
|
54 |
Workaround |
55 |
========== |
56 |
|
57 |
There is no known workaround at this time. All users are encouraged to |
58 |
upgrade to the latest available version. |
59 |
|
60 |
Resolution |
61 |
========== |
62 |
|
63 |
All Opera users should upgrade to the latest stable version: |
64 |
|
65 |
# emerge sync |
66 |
|
67 |
# emerge -pv ">=net-www/opera-7.53" |
68 |
# emerge ">=net-www/opera-7.53" |
69 |
