IMPACT:

WHERE:
>From remote

SOFTWARE:
Opera 5.x
http://secunia.com/product/82/
Opera 6.x

Opera 7.x

DESCRIPTION:
Two vulnerabilities have been reported in Opera, which can be
exploited by malicious people to conduct cross-site scripting attacks
and to compromise a user's system.

1) Opera may launch external email or newsgroup clients incorrectly.
This can be exploited to execute arbitrary commands by e.g. visiting
a malicious website.

Successful exploitation requires that the user has configured an
external email or newsgroup client.

2) An error when processing frames from different websites can be
exploited to bypass the same-origin policy. This allows to overwrite
functions of those frames and to execute arbitrary HTML and script
code in a user's browser session in context of other sites.

The vulnerabilities are reported in all versions of Opera for Desktop
prior to version 9.24.

SOLUTION:
Update to version 9.24.
