The Opera development team has been busy the last weeks releasing the first public alpha version of Opera 10 and only a week later an update for the latest official version of Opera which raises the version to 9.63. The new update which became available earlier today is a recommended security update and every user with Opera installed should update the web browser immediately.
The update is already available when checking the Help > Check For Updates option from within Opera. It can also be downloaded directly from the official Opera ftp website for all supported operating systems including Microsoft Windows, Apple Macintosh, Linux and mobile devices.
Here is the list of security issues that have been fixed in Opera 9.63:
- Manipulating text input contents can allow execution of arbitrary code
- HTML parsing flaw can cause Opera to execute arbitrary code
- Long hostnames in file: URLs can cause execution of arbitrary code
- Script injection in feed preview can reveal contents of unrelated news feeds
- Built-in XSLT templates can allow cross-site scripting
- Fixed an issue that could reveal random data
- SVG images embedded using
tags can no longer execute Java or plugin content
Make sure to update the Opera web browser as soon as possible to eliminate the vulnerabilities.
