Opera Web Browser Vulnerabilities
Jump to Comments
Secunia is reporting two vulnerabilities found in the Opera Web Browser.
Secunia has a nice little tool called Software Inspector. Testing your system with this tool will tell you if you are at risk for this vulnerability or any other known software vulnerability.

EDIT: One sign of a developer passionate about how their product is viewed is how he/she responds when someone points out a flaw. I got an email from Rijk in response to this post. He wanted to make sure that everyone knew that the best way to avoid this vulnerability was to update to Opera 9.1. Upgrade to the latest version and you will have no problems.
This is something that I neglected to mention in my original post and I am glad that he took the time to point that out to me. Great job Rijk. Thanks for clarifying!

You forget to mention these issues are already fixed in the current release 9.10 of the browser, which went final a few weeks ago.
