DESCRIPTION:
Some vulnerabilities have been reported in Opera, which
potentially
can be exploited by malicious people to compromise a user's
system.
1) An error when prompting the user to add a newsfeed can be
exploited to cause an invalid memory access via a specially
crafted
newsfeed source.
2) An error exists in the processing of HTML CANVAS elements.
This
can be exploited to cause a memory corruption via specially
crafted
scaled pattern images.
Successful exploitation of the vulnerabilities may allow
