Opera 7.0 Security Holes ... Fixed

Posted by timothy on from the fat-lady dept.

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)."

    Wrote 'em an email complaining about their security-through-obscurity model, and had a reply back from a developer within ten minutes, pointing me to the FTP site with the fixed version...

    That's not a bad response at all, IMHO.

    And no, I don't work for 'em - are they hiring at the moment? :)
