An error known as "a virtual function call on an invalid pointer" has |
46 |
been discovered in the JavaScript engine (CVE-2007-4367). Furthermore, |
47 |
iDefense Labs reported that an already-freed pointer may be still used |
48 |
under unspecified circumstances in the BitTorrent support |
49 |
(CVE-2007-3929). At last, minor other errors have been discovered, |
50 |
relative to memory read protection (Opera Advisory 861) and URI |
51 |
displays (CVE-2007-3142, CVE-2007-3819). |

<impact type="normal"> |
55 |
<p> |
56 |
A remote attacker could trigger the BitTorrent vulnerability by |
57 |
enticing a user into starting a malicious BitTorrent download, and |
58 |
execute arbitrary code through unspecified vectors. Additionally, a |
59 |
specially crafted JavaScript may trigger the "virtual function" |
60 |
vulnerability. The JavaScript engine can also access previously freed |
61 |
but uncleaned memory. Finally, a user can be fooled with a too long |
62 |
HTTP server name that does not fit the dialog box, or a URI containing |
63 |
whitespaces. |
64 |
</p> |
65 |
</impact> |
66 |
<workaround> |
67 |
<p> |
68 |
There is no known workaround at this time for all these |
69 |
vulnerabilities. |
70 |
</p> |
71 |
</workaround> |
72 |
<resolution> |
73 |
<p> |
74 |
All Opera users should upgrade to the latest version: |
75 |
</p> |
76 |
<code> |
77 |
# emerge --sync |
78 |
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=www-client/opera-9.23"</code> |
79 |
</resolution> |
