Opera security advisory

  • Named frames or windows can be hi-jacked by malicious frames or windows.
  • Periods in the file name and non-breaking spaces in the Content-Type header can make the save/open dialog misleading. A user may be convinced that an executable file is something else, for example a PDF document.
  • Applets have access to sun.* packages
  • Liveconnect: com.opera.EcmascriptObject constructor is accessible to Java
  • Liveconnect reveals the path to the user’s home directory. This can make other vulnerabilities easier to exploit.
