Opera ‘extremely severe’ browser bug
Opera bitten by ‘extremely severe’ browser bug | Zero Day | ZDNet.com

If a malicious page redirects Opera to a specially crafted address (URL), it can cause Opera to crash. Given sufficient address content, the crash could cause execution of code controlled by the attacking page.
