Title: Opera Web Browser Security Bypass and Unspecified Vulnerabilities
Severity: MODERATE
Description:
Opera Web Browser is a browser that runs on multiple operating systems.
The application is prone to these issues:
1. A security-bypass vulnerability affects the browser because it allows one site to pass error messages to another site through the contents of unrelated variables. This may lead to cross-site scripting attacks because an attacker could pass script code from one site to another. The attacker may also be able to obtain sensitive information. Note that the issue can be exploited only if the application is installed with 'stacktraces for exceptions' enabled.
2. The browser is also affected by an unspecified issue with moderate impact.
Versions prior to Opera 10.10 are affected.
Affected Products:
- Opera Software Opera Web Browser 10
- Opera Software Opera Web Browser 10.01
