+ <background>
+ <p>
+ Opera is a multi-platform web browser.

+ <description>
+ <p>
+ Multiple vulnerabilities have been found in the Opera web browser.
+ Opera fails to deny write access to the "location" browser object. An
+ attacker can overwrite methods in this object and gain script access to
+ any page that uses one of these methods. Furthermore, access to file://
+ URLs is possible even from pages loaded using other protocols. Finally,
+ spoofing a legitimate web page is still possible, despite the fixes
+ announced in GLSA 200407-15.
+ </p>
+ </description>
+ <impact type="normal">
+ <p>
+ By enticing an user to visit specially crafted web pages, an attacker
+ can read files located on the victim's file system, read emails written
+ or received by M2, Opera's mail program, steal cookies, spoof URLs,
+ track user browsing history, etc.
+ </p>
+ </impact>
+ <workaround>
+ <p>
+ There is no known workaround at this time. All users are encouraged to
+ upgrade to the latest available version.
+ </p>
+ </workaround>
+ <resolution>
+ <p>
+ All Opera users should upgrade to the latest stable version:
+ </p>
+ <code>
+ # emerge sync
+
+ # emerge -pv "&gt;=www-client/opera-7.54"
+ # emerge "&gt;=www-client/opera-7.54"</code>
+ </resolution>
