Description

Opera contains a flaw related to the address bar not requiring the display of the beginning of URLs. The issue is triggered when a remote attacker changes a window's size, which may display a later portion of the URL in a fashion that makes it appear to be a different address. This may allow an attacker to spoof URLs.
