Highly Critical

Vendor Patch

From remote

System access

This covers vulnerabilities where malicious people are able to gain system access and execute arbitrary code with the privileges of a local user.

Exposure of sensitive information

Vulnerabilities where documents or credentials are leaked or can be revealed either locally or from remote.

Manipulation of data

This includes vulnerabilities where a user or a remote attacker can manipulate local data on a system, but not necessarily be able to gain escalated privileges or system access.

The most frequent type of vulnerabilities with this impact are SQL-injection vulnerabilities, where a malicious user or person can manipulate SQL queries.

Security Bypass

This covers vulnerabilities or security issues where malicious users or people can bypass certain security mechanisms of the application.

The actual impact varies significantly depending on the design and purpose of the affected application.

Spoofing

This covers various vulnerabilities where it is possible for malicious users or people to impersonate other users or systems.

SUSE has issued an update for opera. This fixes two security issues and multiple vulnerabilities, which can be exploited by malicious, local users to disclose potentially sensitive information and manipulate certain data and by malicious people to conduct spoofing attacks, bypass certain security restrictions, and potentially compromise a user's system.
