Official Description
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.
Technical Analysis
CVE-2004-1201 can be exploited remotely over the network without requiring physical or adjacent access, significantly expanding the attack surface for threat actors.
Exploitation requires some privileges, which limits the exposure to scenarios where an attacker has already gained initial access.
