RISK: Medium Risk
A vulnerability has been identified in Opera, which could be exploited by remote attackers to compromise a vulnerable system. This issue is caused due to an uninitialized memory when writing a large amount of data to a web page e.g. using the "document.write()" function, which could allow attackers to corrupt memory and execute arbitrary code by tricking a user into visiting a specially crafted web page.
