+ Opera is a multi-platform web browser.

+ <description>
+ <p>
+ Christoph Deal discovered that JPEG files with a specially crafted DHT
+ marker can be exploited to cause a heap overflow. Furthermore, an
+ anonymous person discovered that Opera does not correctly handle
+ objects passed to the "createSVGTransformFromMatrix()" function.
+ </p>
+ </description>
+ <impact type="normal">
+ <p>
+ An attacker could potentially exploit the vulnerabilities to execute
+ arbitrary code with the privileges of the user running Opera by
+ enticing a victim to open a specially crafted JPEG file or a website
+ containing malicious JavaScript code.
+ </p>
+ </impact>
+ <workaround>
+ <p>
+ The vendor recommends disabling JavaScript to avoid the
+ "createSVGTransformFromMatrix" vulnerability. There is no known
+ workaround for the other vulnerability.
+ </p>
+ </workaround>
+ <resolution>
+ <p>
+ All Opera users should update to the latest version:
+ </p>
+ <code>
+ # emerge --sync
+ # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose "&gt;=www-client/opera-9.10"</code>
+ </resolution>
