An anonymous reader writes "GreyMagic has issued five new security advisories for the recently-released Opera 7.0. They affect the security model, the javascript console, images, the history and the error log (allowing access to the history). A new version will be released within 24 hours to fix the holes, according to an article at The Register." Update: 02/05 02:01 GMT by T : An anonymous reader writes "Opera Software have just released Opera 7.01 for Windows. This version fixes the recently discovered security holes less than 24 hours after they were discovered - a very impressive turnaround! The release is currently only available on Opera's FTP site. It can be downloaded with Java (12.9Mb) or without (3.3Mb)."

Thank goodness that didn't let me know by lingenfr · 2003-02-04 14:12 · Score: 2, Flamebait

It chaps my butt just a bit that Opera did not have the courtesy to send me an email letting me know that a new version was available. I registered my Windows and Linux versions. Maybe their email server is buggy too.
