Integer signedness error in Opera before 8.54 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via long values in a stylesheet attribute, which pass a length check. NOTE: a sign extension problem makes the attack easier with shorter strings.

Integer signedness error in Opera before 8.54 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via long values in a stylesheet attribute, which pass a length check. (CVE-2006-1834)

The remote host is affected by the vulnerability described in GLSA-200606-01 (Opera: Buffer overflow)

    SEC Consult has discovered a buffer overflow in the code     processing style sheet attributes. It is caused by an integer     signedness error in a length check followed by a call to a string     function. It seems to be hard to exploit this buffer overflow to     execute arbitrary code because of the very large amount memory that has     to be copied.
  Impact :

    A remote attacker can entice a user to visit a web page containing     a specially crafted style sheet attribute that will crash the user's     browser and maybe lead to the execution of arbitrary code.
  Workaround :

    There is no known workaround at this time.

The remote host is using Opera, an alternative web browser. 

The version of Opera installed on the remote host contains a buffer overflow that can be triggered by a long value within a stylesheet attribute.  Successful exploitation can lead to a browser crash and possibly allow for the execution of arbitrary code subject to the privileges of the user running Opera.
