Description:
bitlance winter has reported a security issue in the Opera browser, which potentially can be exploited by malicious people to conduct phishing attacks against a user.
The issue may be caused due to a race condition and will sometimes make it possible to display spoofed information in the address bar via a specially crafted HTML document.
The security issue has been confirmed in version 7.51 for Windows. Other versions may also be affected.
Do you have this product installed on your home computer? Scan using the free Personal Software Inspector. Check if a vulnerable version is installed on computers in your corporate network, using the Network Software Inspector.
