• There seems to be an uptick in Political comments in recent months. Those of us who are long time members of the site know that Political and Religious content has been banned for years. Nothing has changed. Please leave all political and religious comments out of the forums.

    If you recently joined the forums you were not presented with this restriction in the terms of service. This was due to a conversion error when we went from vBulletin to Xenforo. We have updated our terms of service to reflect these corrections.

    Please note any post refering to a politician will be considered political even if it is intended to be humor. Our experience is these topics have a way of dividing the forums and causing deep resentment among members. It is a poison to the community. We appreciate compliance with the rules.

Dangerous security hole in Opera

P

SOH-CM-2023
Several security experts report a security issue in the Opera web browser. An incorrectly set value in HTTP headers allows attackers to cause a buffer overflow that allows them to execute arbitrary code on a vulnerable system. Secunia has confirmed the hole and says the latest version of Opera, 10.50 for Windows is affected while other versions may be affected.

Secunia recommends that users only visit trusted sites and do not follow untrusted links. Another option is to use an alternative browser until Opera provides appropriate patches. According to a report in The Register, Opera is in the process of pushing out a patch for the bug, even though it is not sure the flaw can be exploited. Opera says that the bug "primarily causes a crash" and recommends that DEP (Data Execution Prevention) is enabled to mitigate the problem.
