Opera relative path directory traversal file corruption vulnerability |
||
|
Acertains the version of Opera.exe Detailed Explanation for this Vulnerability Assessment The version of Opera installed on the remote host is vulnerable to a file corruption vulnerability. This issue is exposed when a user is presented with a file dialog, which will cause the creation of a temporary file. It is possible to specify a relative path to another file on the system using directory traversal sequences when the download dialog is displayed. If the client user has write permissions to the attacker-specified file, it will be corrupted. This could be exploited to delete sensitive files on the systems. Solution : Install Opera 7.23 or newer. Network Security Threat Level: High Networks Security ID: 9279 Vulnerability Assessment Copyright: This script is Copyright (C) 2004 David Maciejak |
