CVE-2012-4143

TITLE

Opera Vulnerabilities that allow arbitrary files to be downloaded and executed

DESCRIPTION

Opera before 12.01 on Windows and UNIX, and before 11.66 and 12.x before 12.01 on Mac OS X, allows user-assisted remote attackers to trick users into downloading and executing arbitrary files via a small window for the download dialog, a different vulnerability than CVE-2012-1924. Opera Web Browser is prone to a remote code-execution vulnerability. An attacker can exploit this issue to execute arbitrary code in the context of the application or cause denial-of-service conditions. Opera versions prior to 12.01 are vulnerable. It supports multi-window browsing and a customizable user interface. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Gentoo Linux Security Advisory GLSA 201209-11 - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - http://security.gentoo.org/ - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Severity: Normal Title: Opera: Multiple vulnerabilities Date: September 25, 2012 Bugs: #429478, #434584 ID: 201209-11 - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Synopsis ======== Multiple vulnerabilities have been found in Opera, the worst of which may allow remote execution of arbitrary code.
