DESCRIPTION:
Some vulnerabilities have been reported in Opera, which potentially
can be exploited by malicious people to compromise a user's system.

1) An error when prompting the user to add a newsfeed can be
exploited to cause an invalid memory access via a specially crafted
newsfeed source.   

2) An error exists in the processing of HTML CANVAS elements. This
can be exploited to cause a memory corruption via specially crafted
scaled pattern images.  

Successful exploitation of the vulnerabilities may allow execution of
arbitrary code.

The vulnerabilities are reported in versions prior to 9.27.

SOLUTION:
Update to version 9.27.
