"Browser maker Opera released an update to its software on Thursday, closing serious security vulnerabilities in the versions of its software for Windows, Mac, Linux and other operating systems.
The patch, which upgrades the Opera browser to version 9.5.2, closes 5 holes in Opera for Mac OS X, 6 holes in the Linux version and 7 holes in the version for Windows. The most critical flaw — labeled "extremely severe" by Opera — is a vulnerability that affects only Windows and could give an attacker the ability to remotely run a program by crashing Opera through an external application call, the software maker said in an advisory." - Content courtesy of Opera update nixes critical flaws
