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.

After the Firefox update this morning a new version of Opera was uploaded on the Opera ftp site. It usually takes a few days before the official announcement will be made available on the Opera homepage. If you are an early adopter and can’t wait to test the new version I suggest you head out to the Opera ftp site and download the version that you want to use.

The update from Opera 9.21 to 9.22 went without problems but I would suggest to backup your installation if you want to be on the safe side. A changelog has not been uploaded yet which makes it hard to find out what has been changed in this release. Someone active in the Opera community surely would know more about the update at this point.
