Opera Software has released an update for its browser to fix various web security issues. Version 9.63 addresses holes in the browser that would allow a hacker to access a user’s computer, perform cross-site scripting, and denial of service attacks. The updated browser also restricts embedded SVG images from executing Java or plug-in content.
According to Opera, vulnerabilities included an HTML parsing flaw along with an issue that could “reveal random data” which will be explained later in better detail.
The update is already available when checking the 'Help' > 'Check For Updates' option from within Opera. It can also be downloaded directly from the Official Opera Download Page for all supported operating systems including Microsoft Windows, Apple Macintosh, Linux and mobile devices. 6.4 MB - 8.6 MB
