Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Opera version 9

Description The issue is related to the CSS functionality, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service by setting the background property of a DHTML element to a long http or https URL. This triggers memory corruption, leading to a crash.

Recommendations For Opera version 9, consider avoiding the use of long http or https URLs for the background property of DHTML elements until a fix is available. As a temporary workaround, restrict the use of CSS functionality that involves setting the background property to minimize the risk of exploitation.
