Opera Browser Two Vulnerabilities.......but....

......these vulnerabilities are only in versions older than the current release.

So I've posted, in case anyone is using an older version of Opera.

Description:
Two vulnerabilities have been reported in Opera, which can be exploited by malicious people to compromise a user's system.

1) An unspecified error when processing JPEG files can be exploited to cause a heap-based buffer overflow via a JPEG file with a specially crafted DHT marker.

2) An error within createSVGTransformFromMatrix() can be exploited by passing an incorrect object to the said function.

Successful exploitation of the vulnerabilities allow execution of arbitrary code.

Secunia has constructed the Secunia Software Inspector, which you can use to check if your system is vulnerable:
