Description:
Some vulnerabilities have been reported in Opera, which can be exploited by malicious people to bypass certain security restrictions, disclose potentially sensitive information, or potentially compromise a user's system.
1) An unspecified error can be exploited to potentially execute arbitrary code via a web page that redirects the browser to a specially crafted URL.
2) An error in the caching of Java applets can be exploited to load a cached applet in the context of the local machine and e.g. read restricted cache files.
Solution:
Update to version 9.6.
