Opera Buffer Overflow Vulnerability
Opera is prone to a buffer-overflow vulnerability. This issue is due to the application's failure to properly bounds-check user-supplied input before using it in a string-copy operation. This issue allows remote attackers to crash affected web browsers. Due to the nature of this issue, attackers may be able to exploit this issue to execute machine code, but this has not been confirmed.
Mitigation:
Input validation should be used to ensure that user-supplied data is properly sanitized.
