The installed version of Opera on the remote host is vulnerable to a buffer overflow in the code that parses HREF tags in the server.
To exploit them, an attacker would need to set up a rogue website, then lure a user of this host to visit the site using Opera.
The attacker would then be able to execute arbitrary code on this host.
