Opera < 9.52 Multiple Vulnerabilities

high Nessus Plugin ID 33949

Synopsis

The remote host contains a web browser that is affected by several issues.

Description

The version of Opera installed on the remote host is earlier than 9.52 and thus reportedly affected by several issues :

- Specially crafted URLs could start Opera in a way that would allow execution of arbitrary code.

- Invalid checking of what frames a site can change, allowing a website to open pages from other sites.

- An unspecified cross-site scripting issue.

- Custom shortcuts and menu commands may pass parameters created from uninitialized memory.

- Secure sites loading insecure content in a frame will cause Opera to incorrectly display the padlock icon.

- Feed sources can link to a user's local disk, and appropriate JavaScript can detect if these files exist or not.

- The page address may be changed when a user subscribes to a newsfeed subscription using the feed subscription button.

Solution

Upgrade to Opera version 9.52 or later.
