Opera » Opera Browser » 7.02 : Security Vulnerabilities, CVEs,

Opera allows remote attackers to bypass intended cookie access restrictions on a web application via "%2e%2e" (encoded dot dot) directory traversal sequences in a URL, which causes Opera to send the cookie outside the specified URL subsets, e.g. to a vulnerable application that runs on the same server as the target application.

Buffer overflow in Opera 7.02 Build 2668 allows remote attackers to crash Opera via a long HTTP request ending in a .ZIP extension.

Heap-based buffer overflow in Opera 6.05 through 7.10 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) and possibly execute arbitrary code via a filename with a long extension.

Argument injection vulnerability in Opera before 7.50 does not properly filter "-" characters that begin a hostname in a telnet URI, which allows remote attackers to insert options to the resulting command line and overwrite arbitrary files via (1) the "-f" option on Windows XP or (2) the "-n" option on Linux.

Opera 7.50 and earlier allows remote web sites to provide a "Shortcut Icon" (favicon) that is wider than expected, which could allow the web sites to spoof a trusted domain and facilitate phishing attacks using a wide icon and extra spaces.

Opera 7.x up to 7.54, and possibly other versions, allows remote attackers to spoof arbitrary web sites by injecting content from one window into a target window whose name is known but resides in a different domain, as demonstrated using a pop-up window on a trusted web site, aka the "window injection" vulnerability.

Opera 7.54 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash from memory exhaustion), as demonstrated using Javascript code that continuously creates nested arrays and then sorts the newly created arrays.

Opera 7.54 and earlier does not properly limit an applet's access to internal Java packages from Sun, which allows remote attackers to gain sensitive information, such as user names and the installation directory.

Opera 7.54 and earlier allows remote attackers to spoof file types in the download dialog via dots and non-breaking spaces (ASCII character code 160) in the (1) Content-Disposition or (2) Content-Type headers.

Opera 7.54 and earlier uses kfmclient exec to handle unknown MIME types, which allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a shortcut or launcher that contains an Exec entry.

Opera allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (invalid memory reference and application crash) via a web page or HTML email that contains a TBODY tag with a large COL SPAN value, as demonstrated by mangleme.

The Javascript engine in Opera 7.23 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) by creating a new Array object with a large size value, then writing into that array.

Opera Web Browser 7.0 through 7.23 allows remote attackers to trick users into executing a malicious file by embedding a CLSID in the file name, which causes the malicious file to appear as a trusted file type, aka "File Download Extension Spoofing."

Opera Browser 7.23, and other versions before 7.50, updates the address bar as soon as the user clicks a link, which allows remote attackers to redirect to other sites via the onUnload attribute.

A race condition in Opera web browser 7.53 Build 3850 causes Opera to fill in the address bar before the page has been loaded, which allows remote attackers to spoof the URL in the address bar via the window.open and location.replace HTML parameters, which facilitates phishing attacks.

Opera before 7.54 allows remote attackers to modify properties and methods of the location object and execute Javascript to read arbitrary files from the client's local filesystem or display a false URL to the user.

The International Domain Name (IDN) support in Firefox 1.0, Camino .8.5, and Mozilla before 1.7.6 allows remote attackers to spoof domain names using punycode encoded domain names that are decoded in URLs and SSL certificates in a way that uses homograph characters from other character sets, which facilitates phishing attacks.

The International Domain Name (IDN) support in Opera 7.54 allows remote attackers to spoof domain names using punycode encoded domain names that are decoded in URLs and SSL certificates in a way that uses homograph characters from other character sets, which facilitates phishing attacks.

The International Domain Name (IDN) support in Epiphany allows remote attackers to spoof domain names using punycode encoded domain names that are decoded in URLs and SSL certificates in a way that uses homograph characters from other character sets, which facilitates phishing attacks.

Opera 7.54 and earlier does not properly validate base64 encoded binary data in a data: (RFC 2397) URL, which causes the URL to be obscured in a download dialog, which may allow remote attackers to trick users into executing arbitrary code.

Opera 7.54 and earlier on Gentoo Linux uses an insecure path for plugins, which could allow local users to gain privileges by inserting malicious libraries into the PORTAGE_TMPDIR (portage) temporary directory.

The XMLHttpRequest object in Opera 8.0 Final Build 1095 allows remote attackers to bypass access restrictions and perform unauthorized actions on other domains via a redirect.

Cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability in Opera 8.0 Final Build 1095 allows remote attackers to inject arbitrary web script or HTML via "javascript:" URLs when a new window or frame is opened, which allows remote attackers to bypass access restrictions and perform unauthorized actions on other domains.

Opera 7.x and 8 before 8.01 does not clearly associate a Javascript dialog box with the web page that generated it, which allows remote attackers to spoof a dialog box from a trusted site and facilitates phishing attacks, aka the "Dialog Origin Spoofing Vulnerability."

A design error in Opera 8.01 and earlier allows user-assisted attackers to execute arbitrary code by overlaying a malicious new window above a file download dialog box, then tricking the user into double-clicking on the "Run" button, aka "link hijacking".
