Severity
Low
Description
When pages are printed by Opera, a temporary file is created, which contains the document to print. This document is not created with the correct permissions, allowing other users of the system to read its contents. When printed with certain popular printing frameworks, an additional temporary file is created by the framework in a predictable location. Untrusted users can therefore use file links to direct the file’s contents into existing documents, corrupting them.
Affected Platforms
This issue affects Opera for Linux/Unix.
Opera’s Response
Opera Software has released Opera 11.62, where this issue has been fixed.
