DESCRIPTION:
A vulnerability has been discovered in Opera, which can be exploited

The vulnerability is caused due to an error when allocating space for
floating point numbers and can be exploited to trigger a memory
corruption when a specially crafted floating point number is
processed.

Successful exploitation may allow execution of arbitrary code.

versions may also be affected.

The vulnerability is reportedly addressed in the latest RC and will
be fixed in an upcoming stable version.
