43 A remote attacker could entice a user to open a specially crafted web
44 page using Opera, possibly resulting in execution of arbitrary code
45 with the privileges of the process or a Denial of Service condition.
46 Furthermore, a remote attacker may be able to obtain sensitive
47 information, conduct Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) attacks, or bypass
48 security restrictions.
