Opera has fixed a flawed involving how its browser handles Torrent files that allowed hackers to attack vulnerable systems.
A boundary error in handling certain types of Torrent files exposed version 9.x of the browser to a stack-based buffer overflow...
providing a user right-clicks a malicious Torrent entry in the transfer
manager. Simply clicking on the Torrent link will not trigger the flaw,
which Opera nonetheless describes as "highly critical".
