Opera before 10.60 allows remote attackers to bypass the popup blocker via a javascript: URL and a "fake click."

The remote host is affected by the vulnerability described in GLSA-201206-03 (Opera: Multiple vulnerabilities)

    Multiple vulnerabilities have been discovered in Opera. Please review       the CVE identifiers referenced below for details.
  Impact :

    A remote attacker could entice a user to open a specially crafted web       page, possibly resulting in execution of arbitrary code with the       privileges of the process or a Denial of Service condition. A remote       attacker may be able to: trick users into downloading and executing       arbitrary files, bypass intended access restrictions, spoof trusted       content, spoof URLs, bypass the Same Origin Policy, obtain sensitive       information, force subscriptions to arbitrary feeds, bypass the popup       blocker, bypass CSS filtering, conduct cross-site scripting attacks, or       have other unknown impact.
    A local attacker could perform symlink attacks to overwrite arbitrary       files with the privileges of the user running the application or possibly       obtain sensitive information.
    A physically proximate attacker may be able to access an email account.
  Workaround :

    There is no known workaround at this time.

The remote host is running the Opera web browser.

Versions of Opera earlier than 10.60 are potentially affected by multiple vulnerabilities :

  - Double clicking a link can unexpectedly run a program from the Internet. (KB 957)

  - Users can be tricked into uploading unexpected files. (KB 958)

The version of Opera installed on the remote host is earlier than 10.60.  Such versions are potentially affected by the following issues :

  - A delay, inserted after a user clicks on a link, is not     functioning correctly and allows a user's double-click     to interact with the download dialog immediately.  This     can allow unexpected execution of programs from the     website if the download dialog appears under the pointer     location. (957)

  - Files, whose filename and path have been pulled from     the clipboard, may be unintentionally uploaded to a     server without user authorization. This does require     the user to have focused a file input and pasted the     clipboard contents. (958)
