Synopsis
=======
Opera contains three vulnerabilities, allowing an attacker to
impersonate legitimate websites with URI obfuscation or to spoof
websites with frame injection.

Background
=========
Opera is a multi-platform web browser.

Affected packages
================
    -------------------------------------------------------------------
     Package        /   Vulnerable   /                      Unaffected
    -------------------------------------------------------------------
  1  net-www/opera        <= 7.52                              >= 7.53

Description
==========
Opera fails to remove illegal characters from an URI of a link and to
check that the target frame of a link belongs to the same website as
the link. Opera also updates the address bar before loading a page.
Additionally, Opera contains a certificate verification problem.

Impact
=====
These vulnerabilities could allow an attacker to impersonate legitimate
websites to steal sensitive information from users. This could be done
by obfuscating the real URI of a link or by injecting a malicious frame
into an arbitrary frame of another browser window.

Workaround
=========
There is no known workaround at this time. All users are encouraged to
upgrade to the latest available version.

Resolution
=========
All Opera users should upgrade to the latest stable version:

    # emerge sync

    # emerge -pv ">=net-www/opera-7.53"
    # emerge ">=net-www/opera-7.53"
