| Detailed Description |
A version of Opera web browser which is older than version 8.54 has been installed on the host. Opera is a Web browser, developed by Opera Software, for multiple operating systems. Opera versions prior to 8.54 are vulnerable to a buffer overflow vulnerability when processing an overly long CSS (Cascading Style Sheets) attribute (e.g. "font-family"), which could be exploited by remote attackers to execute arbitrary commands via a specially crafted web page. A remote attacker could construct a hostile Web site that contains a malicious script 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.
