Secunia Advisory SA8272Opera execution of arbitrary code
|
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Description
Opera has been found vulnerable to a buffer overflow in the handling of filenames when showing the "Download Dialog" box. The problem is that very long filenames are handled incorrectly. This allows a malicious website to create a filename that causes a buffer overflow which can be exploited to execute arbitrary code. Exploits are in the wild for Windows. Exploitation does not require user interaction as websites can spawn the "Download Dialog" automatically. Solution Provided and/or discovered by Deep Links Do you have additional information related to this advisory?Please provide information about patches, mitigating factors, new versions, exploits, faulty patches, links, and other relevant data by posting comments to this Advisory. You can also send this information to vuln@secunia.com
