* Opera browser update fixes two serious vulnerabilities

An Indian security researcher, S. G. Masood, has discovered a collection of serious vulnerabilities in the Opera web browser that allow aribitrary code execution. A sample proof of concept exploit showing how to use these vulnerabilities was also publicly posted, so Opera users would be well-advised to obtain the latest release (7.22 as this was written) and install it as soon as practicable.

Archived copies of Masood's advisories, posted to the Full-Disclosure mailing list, are linked below:
