DESCRIPTION:
A security issue has been reported in Opera Mobile for Android, which
can be exploited by malicious people to bypass certain security
restrictions.

information and e.g. execute arbitrary JavaScript code in context of
an arbitrary domain.
Successful exploitation requires that a malicious application is
installed.
The vulnerability is reported in Opera Mobile 11.1.
