VULHUB ™

Opera is prone to a file corruption vulnerability. This issue is exposed when a user is presented with a file dialog, which will cause the creation of a temporary file. It is possible to specify a relative path to another file on the system using directory traversal sequences when the download dialog is displayed. If the client user has write permissions to the attacker-specified file, it will be corrupted. This could be exploited to delete sensitive files on the systems. It is not currently known if this could be used to trojan files on the system. This issue was reported in Opera for Windows platforms. It is not known whether other platforms are also affected.
