The host is installed with Opera before 12.11 and is prone to heap-based buffer overflow vulnerability. A flaw is present in the application, which fails to properly handle a long HTTP response. Successful exploitation could allow a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code or cause a denial of service (memory corruption).
