CVE-2010-1728
Opera < 10.53 - Remote Code Execution via JavaScript Marquee Loop
Title source: llmDescription
Opera before 10.53 on Windows and Mac OS X does not properly handle a series of document modifications that occur asynchronously, which allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code or cause a denial of service (application crash) via JavaScript that writes <marquee> sequences in an infinite loop, leading to attempted use of uninitialized memory. NOTE: this might overlap CVE-2006-6955.
