\"Opera-10.5-Vulnerability\" New 0-day vulnerability has been discovered in Opera, which can be utilised to gain control of a user’s system. The vulnerability is known to affect Opera 10.10 and Opera 10.50 for Windows (other versions may be affected too) and a proof of concept submitted by Marcin Ressel is available here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Secunia<\/a> has categorised the vulnerability as highly critical. Apparently, the issue is caused due to a buffer overflow error, which can be triggered by a malformed HTTP “Content-Length:” header. Successful exploitation of the vulnerability may permit the execution of arbitrary code on the user’s system.<\/p>\n

At the moment, no solution is available for the exploit. Until Opera Software patches this vulnerability, all Opera users should be cautious while browsing untrusted websites.<\/p>\n
