Description:
Robert Swiecki has discovered a vulnerability in Opera, which can be exploited by malicious people to conduct spoofing attacks.
The vulnerability is caused due to an error in the handling of the "data:" URI scheme. This can be exploited to display arbitrary content while showing the URL of a trusted web site in the address bar when a user follows a specially crafted link.
The vulnerability is confirmed in version 9.21. Other versions may also be affected.
