Opera users highly encouraged to upgrade

**evilfantasy** · #1 14th Oct 2008, 20:23

If you’re using the Opera webbrowser, now would be a good time to upgrade to the latest (9.60) release; earlier versions are vulnerable to an “extremely severe” bug that could allow an attacker to run code on your computer:

If a malicious page redirects Opera to a specially crafted address (URL), it can cause Opera to crash. Given sufficient address content, the crash could cause execution of code controlled by the attacking page.

If that’s not enough reason to upgrade, there’s also a “highly severe” bug that might disclose sensitive information on your PC.

I've just come to adore Opera :D also, it was the first browser to keep all tabs between closing down one time, and opening the next.

Yea, I was like that, but it's started annoying me more and more since I started posting alot on these forums, as some of the links to threads randomly go to Google ads instead, which I'm sure is something opera has implemented because it doesn't happen with any other browser.
