The remote host is affected by the vulnerability described in GLSA-200701-08 (Opera: Two remote code execution vulnerabilities)
Christoph Deal discovered that JPEG files with a specially crafted DHT marker can be exploited to cause a heap overflow. Furthermore, an anonymous person discovered that Opera does not correctly handle objects passed to the 'createSVGTransformFromMatrix()' function.
Impact :
An attacker could potentially exploit the vulnerabilities to execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the user running Opera by enticing a victim to open a specially crafted JPEG file or a website containing malicious JavaScript code.
Workaround :
The vendor recommends disabling JavaScript to avoid the 'createSVGTransformFromMatrix' vulnerability. There is no known workaround for the other vulnerability.
