Summary:
Opera Web Browser is a browser that runs on multiple operating systems.
Opera Web Browser is prone to a heap-based memory-corruption vulnerability because of a flaw in parsing certain HTML constructs.
Attackers can exploit this issue to execute arbitrary code or crash the affected application.
NOTE: This issue was previously covered in BID 32864 (Opera Web Browser prior to 9.63 Multiple Security Vulnerabilities), but has been given its own record to better document the issue.
Versions prior to Opera 9.63 are vulnerable.
