Multiple vulnerabilities have been identified in Opera, which could be exploited via malicious web sites to gain knowledge of sensitive information or conduct spoofing attacks.

The first issue is caused by an error when handling certain characters in the page address, which could be exploited to make malicious site addresses to look like other site addresses.

The second weakness is caused by an error when checking the source of images specified via HTML CANVAS elements, which could be exploited to cause a vulnerable browser to reveal image data to scripts.

The third vulnerability is caused by an error when handling pages from different sources held on the same parent page, which could allow an untrusted page to replace the contents of a named trusted frame, causing it to display misleading information.
