Description:
GreyMagic has discovered a vulnerability in Opera, allowing a malicious website to steal sensitive information and conduct cross-site scripting attacks.
The vulnerability is caused due to universal write access being enabled on the "location" object. This can be exploited by replacing methods in this object making it possible for a malicious website to override cross-site scripting restrictions for any website or local file.
Reportedly, this issue is related to:

A weakness was also reported, which can be exploited to determine the presence of files and directories on a user's system.
