OperaCVEs & Vulnerabilities

Opera 9 drops DNS pins based on failed connections to irrelevant TCP ports, which makes it easier for remote attackers to conduct DNS rebinding attacks, as demonstrated by a port 81 URL in an IMG SRC, when the DNS pin had been established for a session on port 80.

The canvas.createPattern function in Opera 9.x before 9.22 for Linux, FreeBSD, and Solaris does not clear memory before using it to process a new pattern, which allows remote attackers to obtain sensitive information (memory contents) via JavaScript.

Opera before 9.23 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via crafted Javascript that triggers a "virtual function call on an invalid pointer."

Use-after-free vulnerability in the BitTorrent support in Opera before 9.22 allows user-assisted remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a crafted header in a torrent file, which leaves a dangling pointer to an invalid object.

Opera 9.21 allows remote attackers to spoof the data: URI scheme in the address bar via a long URI with trailing whitespace, which prevents the beginning of the URI from being displayed.

Adobe Macromedia Flash Player 7 and 9, when used with Opera before 9.20 or Konqueror before 20070613, allows remote attackers to obtain sensitive information (browser keystrokes), which are leaked to the Flash Player applet.

Opera 9.10 does not check URLs embedded in (1) object or (2) iframe HTML tags against the phishing site blacklist, which allows remote attackers to bypass phishing protection.

The FTP protocol implementation in Opera 9.10 allows remote attackers to allows remote servers to force the client to connect to other servers, perform a proxied port scan, or obtain sensitive information by specifying an alternate server address in an FTP PASV response.

AcroPDF.DLL in Adobe Reader 8.0, when accessed from Mozilla Firefox, Netscape, or Opera, allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (unspecified resource consumption) via a .pdf URL with an anchor identifier that begins with search= followed by many %n sequences, a different vulnerability than CVE-2006-6027 and CVE-2006-6236.

The child frames in Opera 9 before 9.20 inherit the default charset from the parent window when a charset is not specified in an HTTP Content-Type header or META tag, which allows remote attackers to conduct cross-site scripting (XSS) attacks, as demonstrated using the UTF-7 character set.

Opera 9.10 Final allows remote attackers to bypass the Fraud Protection mechanism by adding certain characters to the end of a domain name, as demonstrated by the "." and "/" characters, which is not caught by the blacklist filter.

Opera allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash) via a web page that contains a large number of nested marquee tags, a related issue to CVE-2006-2723.

The Javascript SVG support in Opera before 9.10 does not properly validate object types in a createSVGTransformFromMatrix request, which allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via JavaScript code that uses an invalid object in this request that causes a controlled pointer to be referenced during the virtual function call.

Heap-based buffer overflow in Opera 9.02 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a JPEG file with an invalid number of index bytes in the Define Huffman Table (DHT) marker.

Heap-based buffer overflow in Opera 9.0 and 9.01 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a long URL in a tag (long link address).

The CSS functionality in Opera 9 on Windows XP SP2 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) by setting the background property of a DHTML element to a long http or https URL, which triggers memory corruption.

Opera 9 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) via a crafted web page that triggers an out-of-bounds memory access, related to an iframe and JavaScript that accesses certain style sheets properties.

Opera before 9.0 does not reset the SSL security bar after displaying a download dialog from an SSL-enabled website, which allows remote attackers to spoof a trusted SSL certificate from an untrusted website and facilitates phishing attacks.

Integer overflow in Opera 8.54 and earlier allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a JPEG image with large height and width values, which causes less memory to be allocated than intended.

Opera 9 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) via an A tag with an href attribute with a URL containing a long hostname, which triggers an out-of-bounds operation.

Integer signedness error in Opera before 8.54 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via long values in a stylesheet attribute, which pass a length check. NOTE: a sign extension problem makes the attack easier with shorter strings.

Opera 8.02 and earlier allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (client crash) via (1) a crafted HTML file with a "content: url(0);" style attribute, a "bodyA" tag, a long string, and a "u" tag with a long attribute, as demonstrated by opera.html; and (2) a BGSOUND element with a "margin:-99;" STYLE attribute.

Opera before 8.51, when running on Windows with Input Method Editor (IME) installed, allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (persistent application crash) by bookmarking a site with a long title.

Opera 8.50 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) via a Java applet with a large string argument to the removeMember JNI method for the com.opera.JSObject class.

Opera 8.01, when the "Arial Unicode MS" font (ARIALUNI.TTF) is installed, does not properly handle extended ASCII characters in the file download dialog box, which allows remote attackers to spoof file extensions and possibly trick users into executing arbitrary code.

Opera 8.01 allows remote attackers to conduct cross-site scripting (XSS) attacks or modify which files are uploaded by tricking a user into dragging an image that is a "javascript:" URI.

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".

Opera 8.01 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (CPU consumption) via a crafted JPEG image, as demonstrated using random.jpg.

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 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.

Opera 8 Beta 3, when using first-generation vetted digital certificates, displays the Organizational information of an SSL certificate, which is easily spoofed and can facilitate phishing attacks.

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.
