+ An error known as "a virtual function call on an invalid pointer" has
+ been discovered in the JavaScript engine (CVE-2007-4367). Furthermore,
+ iDefense Labs reported that an already-freed pointer may be still used
+ under unspecified circumstances in the BitTorrent support
+ (CVE-2007-3929). At last, minor other errors have been discovered,
+ relative to memory read protection (Opera Advisory 861) and URI
+ displays (CVE-2007-3142, CVE-2007-3819).
+ </p>
+ </description>
+ <impact type="normal">
+ <p>
+ A remote attacker could trigger the BitTorrent vulnerability by
+ enticing a user into starting a malicious BitTorrent download, and
+ execute arbitrary code through unspecified vectors. Additionally, a
+ specially crafted JavaScript may trigger the "virtual function"
+ vulnerability. The JavaScript engine can also access previously freed
+ but uncleaned memory. Finally, a user can be fooled with a too long
+ HTTP server name that does not fit the dialog box, or a URI containing
+ whitespaces.
+ </p>
+ </impact>
+ <workaround>
+ <p>
+ There is no known workaround at this time for all these
+ vulnerabilities.
+ </p>
+ </workaround>
+ <resolution>
+ <p>
+ All Opera users should upgrade to the latest version:
+ </p>
+ <code>
+ # emerge --sync
+ # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose &quot;&gt;=www-client/opera-9.23&quot;</code>
+ </resolution>
