- --- 0.Description ---
Opera is a Web browser and Internet suite developed by the Opera
Software company. The browser handles common Internet-related tasks such
as displaying Web sites, sending and receiving e-mail messages, managing
contacts, IRC online chatting, downloading files via BitTorrent, and
reading Web feeds. Opera is offered free of charge for personal
computers and mobile phones.


- --- 1. Opera 10.01 Remote Array Overrun (Arbitrary code execution) ---
The main problem exist in dtoa implementation. Opera has a very similar
dtoa algorithm to the BSD, Chrome and Mozilla products. It is the same
issue like SREASONRES:20090625.

http://securityreason.com/achievement_securityalert/63

but fix for SREASONRES:20090625, used by openbsd was not good.
More information about fix for openbsd and similars SREASONRES:20091030,

http://securityreason.com/achievement_securityalert/69

We can create any number of float, which will overwrite the memory. In
Kmax has defined 15. Functions in dtoa, don't checks Kmax limit, and it
is possible to call 16<= elements of freelist array.


- --- 2. Proof of Concept  (PoC) ---

- -----------------------
<script>
var a=0.<?php echo str_repeat("9",299999); ?>;
</script>
- -----------------------

If we use Opera to see this PoC, Opera will crash. For example

- -----------------------
<script>
var a=0.<?php echo str_repeat("1",296450); ?>;
</script>

- --- 3. SecurityReason Note ---

Officialy SREASONRES:20090625 has been detected in:
- - OpenBSD
- - NetBSD
- - FreeBSD
- - MacOSX
- - Google Chrome
- - Mozilla Firefox
- - Mozilla Seamonkey
- - KDE (example: konqueror)
- - Opera
- - K-Meleon

This list is not yet closed. US-CERT declared that will inform all
vendors about this issue, however, they did not do it. Even greater
confusion caused new CVE number "CVE-2009-1563". Secunia has informed
that this vulnerability was only detected in Mozilla Firefox, but nobody
was aware that the problem affects other products like ( KDE, Chrome )
and it is based on "CVE-2009-0689". After some time Mozilla Foundation
Security Advisory
("http://www.mozilla.org/security/announce/2009/mfsa2009-59.html";)
was updated with note :
"The underlying flaw in the dtoa routines used by Mozilla appears to be
essentially the same as that reported against the libc gdtoa routine by
Maksymilian Arciemowicz ( CVE-2009-0689)".
This fact ( new CVE number for Firefox Vulnerability )and PoC in
javascript (from Secunia), forced us to official notification all other
vendors. We publish all the individual advisories, to formally show all
vulnerable software and to avoid wrong CVE number. We do not see any
other way to fix this issue in all products.


- --- 4. Fix ---
Opera fix:
The vulnerability was fixed in the latest release candidate Opera RC3 :
http://snapshot.opera.com/windows/Opera_1010_1890_in.exe
In shortly time we can expect the final verion of Opera with the fix.
