Vulnerability Insight:
Buffer overflows exist in Opera 7.11 and 7.20 that can cause Opera to
crash, and can potentially overwrite arbitrary bytes on the heap leading
to a system compromise.

Solution:
Users are encouraged to perform an 'emerge sync' and upgrade the package to
the latest available version. Opera 7.22 is recommended as Opera 7.21 is
vulnerable to other security flaws. Specific steps to upgrade:

# emerge sync
# emerge -pv '>=net-www/opera-7.22'
# emerge '>=net-www/opera-7.22'
# emerge clean
