Gentoo: GLSA-200803-09: Opera: Multiple vulnerabilities
Summary
-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Gentoo Linux Security Advisory GLSA 200803-09 https://security.gentoo.org/
Severity: Normal Title: Opera: Multiple vulnerabilities Date: March 04, 2008 Bugs: #210260 ID: 200803-09
Synopsis ======= Multiple vulnerabilities have been discovered in Opera, allowing for file disclosure, privilege escalation and Cross-Site scripting.
Background ========= Opera is a fast web browser that is available free of charge.
Affected packages ================ ------------------------------------------------------------------- Package / Vulnerable / Unaffected ------------------------------------------------------------------- 1 www-client/opera < 9.26 >= 9.26
========== Mozilla discovered that Opera does not handle input to file form fields properly, allowing scripts to manipulate the file path (CVE-2008-1080). Max Leonov found out that image comments might be treated as scripts, and run within the wrong security context (CVE-2008-1081). Arnaud reported that a wrong representation of DOM attribute values of imported XML documents allows them to bypass sanitization filters(CVE-2008-1082).
Impact ===== A remote attacker could entice a user to upload a file with a known path by entering text into a specially crafted form, to execute scripts outside intended security boundaries and conduct Cross-Site Scripting attacks.
Workaround ========= There is no known workaround at this time.
Resolution ========= All Opera users should upgrade to the latest version:
# emerge --sync # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=www-client/opera-9.26"
