Description:   Opened: 2008-10-30 17:11 0000 
Ebuild coming soon to a tree near you.

------- Comment #1 From Jeroen Roovers 2008-10-30 18:19:29 0000 ------- 
The ebuild is in the tree.

* Fixed an issue where History Search could be used to execute arbitrary code,
as discovered by Aviv Raff; see our advisory[1]
* The links panel no longer allows cross-site scripting; see our advisory[2]

ppc stable

------- Comment #4 From Christian Hoffmann 2008-10-30 19:19:53 0000 ------- 
We should note in our GLSA, that users may remain vulnerable even after
upgrading, once the config has been manipulated by a malicious script (i.e.
mailto handler for example).

------- Comment #5 From Stefan Behte 2008-10-30 20:38:36 0000 ------- 
We could create a script that checks for manipulation and warns the user...?

Comment written with opera 9.62 x86.

Seems to work just like older version.

I don't think we want to go so far, people need to do forensics on their
systems if someone exploited a security issue anyway. There are tons of cases
where we cannot determine an exploit scenario via a script.

Oops, forgot to report on the bug. Thanks!

CVE-2008-4794 (http://nvd.nist.gov/nvd.cfm?cvename=CVE-2008-4794):
  Opera before 9.62 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary
  commands via the History Search results page, a different
  vulnerability than CVE-2008-4696.

CVE-2008-4795 (http://nvd.nist.gov/nvd.cfm?cvename=CVE-2008-4795):
  The links panel in Opera before 9.62 processes Javascript within the
  context of the "outermost page" of a frame, which allows remote
  attackers to inject arbitrary web script or HTML via cross-site
  scripting (XSS) attacks.

------- Comment #13 From Tobias Heinlein 2008-11-03 19:02:02 0000 -------
