Opera < 9.10 Multiple Vulnerabilities

high Nessus Plugin ID 23977

Synopsis

The remote host contains a web browser that is susceptible to multiple issues.

Description

The version of Opera installed on the remote host reportedly contains a heap overflow vulnerability that can be triggered when processing the DHT marker in a specially crafted JPEG image to crash the browser or possibly allow execution of arbitrary code on the affected host.

In addition, another flaw in Opera's createSVGTransformFromMatrix object typecasting may lead to a browser crash or arbitrary code execution if support for JavaScript is enabled.

Solution

Upgrade to Opera version 9.10 or later.
