Title: Opera Web Browser prior to 10.01 Multiple Security Vulnerabilities
Severity: HIGH
Description:
Opera Web Browser is a browser that runs on multiple operating systems.
Opera is prone to the following security issues:
1. A remote code-execution vulnerability occurs because of memory corruption when handling crafted domain names.
2. A security issue related to web fonts may allow an attacker to display arbitrary domain names in the address field. Note that this vulnerability occurs only on the Windows platform.
3. A security-bypass issue may allow an attacker to execute scripts in the RSS feed subscription page. Attackers can exploit the flaw to automatically subscribe to feeds or read other feeds.
Successful exploits may allow attackers to execute arbitrary code, bypass certain security restrictions, or perform spoofing attacks.
Versions prior to Opera 10.01 are vulnerable.
