Synopsis

Background

Opera is a fast web browser that is available free of charge.

Affected packages

Package	Vulnerable	Unaffected	Architecture(s)
www-client/opera	< 12.13_p1734	>= 12.13_p1734	All supported architectures

Description

Multiple vulnerabilities have been discovered in Opera. Please review the CVE identifiers referenced below for details.

Impact

A remote attacker could entice a user to open a specially crafted web page using Opera, possibly resulting in execution of arbitrary code with the privileges of the process or a Denial of Service condition. Furthermore, a remote attacker may be able to obtain sensitive information, conduct Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) attacks, or bypass security restrictions.

A local attacker may be able to obtain sensitive information.

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-12.13_p1734"
