| Detailed Description |
The Opera on the host, according to its version number, has an arbitrary file dropping vulnerability. Like other browsers, Opera Web Browser supports many standard MIME types and also a few Opera-specific MIME types. Of the Opera-specific types, the implementation of the various browser skin and browser configuration MIME types has a design flaw that allows the remote dropping of an arbitrary file with an arbitrary name and type in a known location. This is triggered when the victim accesses a URL. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability by creating a malicious Web page and hosting it on a Web site or by sending it to a victim as an HTML email. If successfully exploited, the attacker could execute arbitrary code on the victim's host.
* Note: This check requires an account with administrative privileges which can log into the host to scan. Absence of these condition will result in the check not being performed and a False Negative for all vulnerable hosts.
