DESCRIPTION:
Some vulnerabilities have been reported in Opera, which can be
exploited by malicious people to conduct cross-site scripting
attacks, disclose sensitive information, or to bypass certain
security restrictions.

1) A security issue is caused due to a design error when handling
input to file form fields, which can potentially be exploited to
trick a user into uploading arbitrary files.

This is related to #3 in:
SA28758

2) An error within the handling of custom comments in image
properties can be exploited to execute arbitrary script code in the
wrong security context when comments of a malicious image are
displayed.

3) An error in the handling of attribute values when importing XML
into a document can be exploited to bypass filters and conduct
cross-site scripting attacks if these values are used as document
content.

The vulnerabilities are reported in versions prior to 9.26.

SOLUTION:
Update to version 9.26.
