Impact:
Execution of arbitrary code via network, User access via network

Description:
Two vulnerabilities were reported in Opera. A remote user can cause arbitrary code to be executed on the target user's system.
A remote user can create a specially crafted JPEG image that, when loaded by the target user, will trigger a heap overflow and execute arbitrary code on the target system. The code will run with the privileges of the target user.
A specially crafted JPEG DHT marker can trigger the flaw.
Christoph Diehl reported this vulnerability to iDefense.
A remote user can create Javascript with a specially crafted createSVGTransformFromMatrix request parameter that, when processed by the target user, will execute arbitrary code on the target system. The code will run with the privileges of the target user.
The vendor was notified of both vulnerabilities on November 16, 2006.

Opera Software Opera Web Browser JPG Image DHT Marker Heap Corruption
Vulnerability
iDefense Security Advisory 01.05.07
http://labs.idefense.com/intelligence/vulnerabilities/
Jan 05, 2007
I. BACKGROUND
Opera is a cross-platform web browser. More information is available at
http://www.opera.com/
II. DESCRIPTION
Remote exploitation of a heap overflow in Opera Software ASA's Opera Web
browser could allow an attacker to execute arbitrary code in the security
context of the current user.
The vulnerability specifically exists due to Opera improperly processing a
JPEG DHT marker. The DHT marker is used to define a Huffman Table which is
used for decoding the image data. An invalid number of index bytes in the
DHT marker will trigger a heap overflow with partially user controlled
data.
III. ANALYSIS
Exploitation of this vulnerability would allow an attacker to execute
arbitrary code on the affected host. The attacker would first need to
construct a website containing the malicious image and trick the vulnerable
user into visiting the site. This would trigger the vulnerability and allow
the code to execute with the privileges of the local user.
IV. DETECTION
iDefense has confirmed the existence of this vulnerability in Opera version
9.02 on both Windows and Linux. Previous versions may also be affected.
V. WORKAROUND
iDefense is currently unaware of any effective workarounds for this issue.
VI. VENDOR RESPONSE
Opera Software has addressed this vulnerability in version 9.10. More
information is available at the following link.

VII. CVE INFORMATION
A Mitre Corp. Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures (CVE) number has not
been assigned yet.
