+ Opera is a multi-platform web browser. +

+
+ +

+ The Opera browser can cause a buffer allocated on the heap to overflow under + certain HREFs when rendering HTML. The mail system is also deemed + vulnerable and an attacker can send an email containing a malformed HREF, or + plant the malicious HREF on a web site. +

+
+ +

+ Certain HREFs can cause a buffer allocated on the heap to overflow when + rendering HTML which can allow arbitrary bytes on the heap to be overwritten + which can result in a system compromise. +

+
+ +

+ There is no known workaround at this time. +

+
+ +

+ Users are encouraged to perform an 'emerge sync' and upgrade the package + to the latest available version. Opera 7.22 is recommended as Opera 7.21 is + vulnerable to other security flaws. Specific steps to upgrade: +

+ + # emerge sync + # emerge -pv '>=www-client/opera-7.22' + # emerge '>=www-client/opera-7.22' + # emerge clean +
