| Detailed Description |
The Opera Web browser, according to its version number, has a buffer overflow vulnerability in the zip process code. Opera is a Web browser, developed by Opera Software, for multiple operating systems. Opera versions prior to 7.23 are vulnerable to a buffer overflow vulnerability, caused by insufficient bounds checking when processing the zipped skin files by Opera. This vulnerability can be exploited in combination with various security flaws, such as a directory traversal vulnerability in the Opera browser.
A remote attacker could construct a hostile Web site that contains a malicious file exploiting this vulnerability, which would be executed in the victim's Web browser within the security context of the hosting site, once the malicious link is clicked.
* 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.
