Description

Opera contains a flaw that allows a remote cross site scripting attack. This flaw exists because Opera fails to block write access to the 'location' object. This could allow a user to create a specially crafted URL to overwrite methods within the 'location' object that would execute arbitrary code in a user's browser within the trust relationship between the browser and the server, leading to a loss of integrity.
