Opera Web Browser Torrent File Handling Buffer Overflow Vulnerability

The Opera Web Browser is prone to a buffer-overflow vulnerability because it fails to sufficiently bounds-check user-supplied input.

Exploiting this issue may allow an attacker to execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the user running the affected application.

Versions prior to Opera 9.21 are vulnerable.

NOTE: This issue is reported to affect only Opera running on Microsoft Windows.
