      Opera Address Bar Spoofing Issue Revisited
    ------------------------------------------------------------------------

    SUMMARY

     <http://www.opera.com/> Opera is "a cross-platform web browser". Yet
    another method allows an attacker to spoof the address bad in Opera
    thereby fooling a victim into a malicious page.

    DETAILS

    Vulnerable Systems:
     * Opera browser version 7.53 build 3850

    A sample script code as the following placed in an HTML page can be used
    to spoof the address bar in Opera's latest version:
    <scr!pt>
    function fake() {
      oc=window.open('http://www.opera.com/', '','location=1');
      oc.location.replace('http://www.example.com');
    }
    </scr!pt>
    <[a href="javascript:void(0);" onClick="fake()">http://www.opera.com/>

    The effects of attacks such as this is that an attacker that has
    constructed a malicious HTML page containing code similar to the one
    listed above will be able to fool a user into thinking he/she are watching
    a legitimate page, which actually watching a crafted site by the attacker,
    designed to retrieve important information such as passwords. A
    sample-crafted site might be a username and password prompt for a known
    service. Most users will believe the address bar and would benignly enter
    their login information once more, to the delight of the attacker who
    crafted the page.
