OVERVIEW
A number of vulnerabilities have been identified in Opera prior to
version 11.51.
IMPACT
The vendor has provided the following details regarding these
vulnerabilities:
"Insecure sites should be shown in the address field as insecure
(displayed as "Web" in the address field). When certain content is
loaded and manipulated in a specific sequence, it can cause Opera to
display the security information from the loaded resources in the
address field and page information dialog. This allows a malicious
page to display the security information from a secure or trusted
third party, instead of its own security information." [1]
"Fixed a low severity issue, as reported by Thai Duong and Juliano
Rizzo; details will be disclosed at a later date" [2]
MITIGATION
The vendor recommends upgrading to the latest version of Opera
to correct these issues. [2]
