Insight
Multiple flaws are due to,
- Opera executes a mail application in situations where an 'IMG' element has a 'SRC' attribute that is a redirect to a mailto: URL, which allows remote attackers to launch excessive application via an HTML document with many images.
- Improper handling of 'IFRAME' element with a mailto: URL in its 'SRC' attribute, which allows remote attackers to consume resources via an HTML document with many IFRAME elements.
Affected
Opera version 9.52 and prior on Windows.
