Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Opera versions prior to 9.5

Description The issue allows remote attackers to read cross-domain images via HTML CANVAS elements that use the images as patterns. This is due to an error in the checking of the source of images when used by HTML CANVAS elements, which can be exploited to retrieve the image data.

Recommendations For Opera versions prior to 9.5, update to version 9.5 or later to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting the use of HTML CANVAS elements with cross-domain images until the update is applied.
