Opera security update
Posted: 29. Nov 2012, 20:19
Just FWIW, the current version of Opera is now 12.11. The repo version, 12.02, contains a vulnerability in the handling of HTTP responses that would allow arbitrary code execution.
Personally I'd advise Opera users to make use of the browser's excellent content-blocking capabilities, and maintain a Javascript and plugin whitelist. However, I'm not certain, but I don't think that blocking Javascript or plugins would offer any protection from the vulnerability above.
