Heads up Opera users. New Vulnerability.
Opera's latest release of 10.5 has a 'highly critical' security flaw. Secuina reports that this vulnerability may allow execution of remote code, and that it may also impact version 10.1 as well as 10.5. You can read more about it at this link.
Marcin Ressel has discovered a vulnerability in Opera, which can be exploited by malicious people to compromise a user's system.
The vulnerability is caused due to an error when processing HTTP responses having a malformed "Content-Length" header. This can be exploited to cause a heap-based buffer overflow via an overly large 64-bit "Content-Length" value, having the higher 32-bit part negative.
Successful exploitation may allow execution of arbitrary code.
The vulnerability is confirmed in version 10.50 for Windows. Other versions may also be affected.
