| Vetor | AV:L/AC:L/Au:N/C:C/I:C/A:C |
Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions
Opera versions 7.54 and earlier
Description
The issue is related to an insecure path used for plugins, which could allow local users to gain privileges. This is achieved by inserting malicious libraries into the PORTAGE TMPDIR (portage) temporary directory.
Recommendations
For Opera versions 7.54 and earlier, consider restricting access to the PORTAGE TMPDIR directory to minimize the risk of exploitation. As a temporary workaround, avoid using plugins that may be affected by this issue until a patch is available. At the moment, there is no information about a newer version that contains a fix for this vulnerability.
