    Description :
    
    Opera web browser has an unchecked buffer in his code that allow a
    malicious website to crash it and in certain circumstances , execute code
    with user priviliges .
    
    To reproduce the bug open this link

    Opera crashes with an access violation . Instruction pointer EIP is
    overwritten by the file name converted to unicode . That makes only
    possible to reference certain addresses in memory to execute . To place
    your code to execute in a valid address you have to assign it to an
    enviroment variable .That place your code in an address that can be
    referenced by EIP ( ~00010040 )
