CVSS v2.0
4.3
Média
| Vetor | AV:N/AC:M/Au:N/C:N/I:N/A:P |
Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions
Opera version 9.51
Description
The issue is related to the handling of certain e-mail messages. Specifically, it involves (1) multipart/mixed e-mail messages with many MIME parts and possibly (2) e-mail messages with many "Content-type: message/rfc822;" headers. This can be exploited by remote attackers to cause a denial of service, potentially leading to stack consumption or other resource consumption, via a large e-mail message.
Recommendations
For Opera version 9.51, consider avoiding the use of the affected e-mail handling functionality until a patch is available. As a temporary workaround, restrict the processing of multipart/mixed e-mail messages with many MIME parts and e-mail messages with many "Content-type: message/rfc822;" headers to minimize the risk of exploitation.
