 Details
Description: An undisclosed vulnerability was reported in version 7 of the Opera web browser. A remote user can read files on the target user's computer and can execute scripting code in any security domain.



Grey Magic Security reported discovering two major security vulnerabilities, but did not disclose details of those vulnerabilities. According to the report, the vulnerabilities allow a remote user to read any file or directory on the target user's system. A remote user can also cause arbitrary scripting code to be executed in any security domain.



Another user (Thor Larholm) reports that the bug(s) also allow a remote user to monitor which pages a target user visits.



Impact: A remote user can view directories and files on the target user's system. A remote user can

execute arbitrary scripting code in an arbitrary security domain.



Solution: No solution was available at the time of this entry. The author of the report recommends that

users do not upgrade to Opera 7 and that users of Opera 7 should disable scripting.
