Opera before 8.50 allows remote attackers to spoof the content type of files via a filename with a trailing "." (dot), which might allow remote attackers to trick users into processing dangerous content.
Opera 8.01, when the "Arial Unicode MS" font (ARIALUNI.TTF) is installed, does not properly handle extended ASCII characters in the file download dialog box, which allows remote attackers to spoof file extensions and possibly trick users into executing arbitrary code.
Opera 8.01 allows remote attackers to conduct cross-site scripting (XSS) attacks or modify which files are uploaded by tricking a user into dragging an image that is a "javascript:" URI.
A design error in Opera 8.01 and earlier allows user-assisted attackers to execute arbitrary code by overlaying a malicious new window above a file download dialog box, then tricking the user into double-clicking on the "Run" button, aka "link hijacking".
