Opera releases update for ‘extremely severe’ vulns
January 3, 2009 Software Review
The update fixes seven security bugs, some of these were
previously known. Version 9.63 of the browser addresses separate code injection risks stemming from flaws in HTML parsing and text inputing, respectively. A dangerous bug with similar arbitrary code injection risks involving the handling of long host names in files has also been patched.
The latest version of the software also pierces a cross-site scripting flaw, involving XSLT templates, as well as bugs in feed preview.
More information of the various fixes can be found on Opera Software’s website. That review covers Windows but other versions of the browser running on Mac and Linux also need updating against the similar cross-platform risks.
