Opera : Security Vulnerabilities, CVEs, Published In 2008

Unspecified vulnerability in Opera before 9.63 allows remote attackers to "reveal random data" via unknown vectors.

Cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability in Opera before 9.63 allows remote attackers to inject arbitrary web script or HTML via built-in XSLT templates.

Opera before 9.63 does not block unspecified "scripted URLs" during the feed preview, which allows remote attackers to read existing subscriptions and force subscriptions to arbitrary feed URLs.

Multiple buffer overflows in Opera before 9.63 might allow (1) remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a crafted text area, or allow (2) user-assisted remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a long host name in a file: URL. NOTE: this might overlap CVE-2008-5178.

The HTML parsing engine in Opera before 9.63 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via crafted web pages that trigger an invalid pointer calculation and heap corruption.

Opera 9.51 on Windows XP does not properly handle (1) multipart/mixed e-mail messages with many MIME parts and possibly (2) e-mail messages with many "Content-type: message/rfc822;" headers, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (stack consumption or other resource consumption) via a large e-mail message, a related issue to CVE-2006-1173.

Heap-based buffer overflow in Opera 9.62 on Windows allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a long file:// URI. NOTE: this might overlap CVE-2008-5680.

The links panel in Opera before 9.62 processes Javascript within the context of the "outermost page" of a frame, which allows remote attackers to inject arbitrary web script or HTML via cross-site scripting (XSS) attacks.

Opera before 9.62 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary commands via the History Search results page, a different vulnerability than CVE-2008-4696.

Cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability in Opera.dll in Opera 9.52 allows remote attackers to inject arbitrary web script or HTML via the query string, which is not properly escaped before storage in the History Search database (aka md.dat), a different vector than CVE-2008-4696. NOTE: some of these issues were addressed before 9.60.

Opera before 9.61 does not properly block scripts during preview of a news feed, which allows remote attackers to create arbitrary new feed subscriptions and read the contents of arbitrary feeds.

The Fast Forward feature in Opera before 9.61, when a page is located in a frame, executes a javascript: URL in the context of the outermost page instead of the page that contains this URL, which allows remote attackers to conduct cross-site scripting (XSS) attacks.

Cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability in Opera.dll in Opera before 9.61 allows remote attackers to inject arbitrary web script or HTML via the anchor identifier (aka the "optional fragment"), which is not properly escaped before storage in the History Search database (aka md.dat).

Opera before 9.60 allows remote attackers to obtain sensitive information and have unspecified other impact by predicting the cache pathname of a cached Java applet and then launching this applet from the cache, leading to applet execution within the local-machine context.

Unspecified vulnerability in Opera before 9.60 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash) or execute arbitrary code via a redirect that specifies a crafted URL.

Unspecified vulnerability in Opera before 9.52 on Windows, when registered as a protocol handler, allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) and possibly execute arbitrary code via unknown vectors in which Opera is launched by other applications.

Opera before 9.52 does not check the CRL override upon encountering a certificate that lacks a CRL, which has unknown impact and attack vectors. NOTE: it is not clear whether this is a vulnerability, but the vendor included it in a security section of the advisory.

Opera before 9.52 does not ensure that the address field of a news feed represents the feed's actual URL, which allows remote attackers to change this field to display the URL of a page containing web script controlled by the attacker.

Opera before 9.52 does not prevent use of links from web pages to feed source files on the local disk, which might allow remote attackers to determine the validity of local filenames via vectors involving "detection of JavaScript events and appropriate manipulation."

Opera before 9.52, when rendering an http page that has loaded an https page into a frame, displays a padlock icon and offers a security information dialog reporting a secure connection, which might allow remote attackers to trick a user into performing unsafe actions on the http page.

Opera before 9.52 on Windows, Linux, FreeBSD, and Solaris, when processing custom shortcut and menu commands, can produce argument strings that contain uninitialized memory, which might allow user-assisted remote attackers to execute arbitrary code or conduct other attacks via vectors related to activation of a shortcut.

Cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability in Opera before 9.52 allows remote attackers to inject arbitrary web script or HTML via unspecified vectors.

Opera before 9.52 does not properly restrict the ability of a framed web page to change the address associated with a different frame, which allows remote attackers to trigger the display of an arbitrary address in a frame via unspecified use of web script.

Opera allows web sites to set cookies for country-specific top-level domains that have DNS A records, such as co.tv, which could allow remote attackers to perform a session fixation attack and hijack a user's HTTP session, aka "Cross-Site Cooking."

Unspecified vulnerability in Opera before 9.51 on Windows allows attackers to execute arbitrary code via unknown vectors.
