Description Boris 2004-06-03 04:06:25 UTC
Fixes this security-issue: (taken from Changelog)
"Restricted image size in address bar, page bar and page/window cycler. This addresses issue reported in GreyMagic security advisory GM#007-OP: wide favicons could cover URL in the address line."

I made two patches, one that just bumps to the new version and one that also addes the spell-use-flag (see Bug #51183), so that aspell is not needed for opera.

Please note, that I added the variable OPERAFTPDIR to the ebuild, so it is much easier to change the SRC_URI in the future.

I forgot to remove the einfo-message for users that do not install
spell-support.

I changed that in this patch.

Stable on sparc.

Not sure this is GLSA worth... security, please vote
Comment 8 Dan Margolis (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2004-06-04 17:02:41 UTC
I vote no on a GLSA. There's no threat to the user's system; the phishing threat is probably not even that great given our audience (of hopefully-sensible users). Regardless, there's no *direct* threat here to systems running the vulnerable version and I haven't seen anyone else release advisories. Opera is probably not used by more than 5% of our users (anyone care to correct me?  I know I hate the banner ads) and so the chance of ``exploitation'' is minimal. 
Comment 9 Sune Kloppenborg Jeppesen (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2004-06-04 22:31:58 UTC
I second Krispykringle no need for a GLSA. There is no direct threat and the issue is really minor. Remove the old vulnerable ebuilds and be done with it.
Comment 10 Thierry Carrez (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2004-06-07 04:57:09 UTC
Closed without GLSA
