Opera : Security Vulnerabilities, CVEs, Published In September 2008

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.
