Opera Flaw Effects Wii Browser
January 8th, 2007 by Kit Allen
Nintendo World Report has spoken out about an Opera flaw that also effects the Wii’s Internet Channel Trial version.
‘On January 5th, Opera Software revealed two security bugs in version 9.0x of its internet browser. Though patched in its most recently released version 9.10, the Internet Channel Trial Version used on the Wii is still affected since it is powered by Opera 9.0. iDefense Labs, discoverer of the bugs, notified Opera Software on November 16th of last year.‘
The bug crashes the system, though what whether the code execution that happens on Opera 9 browsers when affected by the flaw also occurs on the Internet Channel is unknown.
The flaw is minor, and the Internet Channel Trial is still well worth the download. Else, wait for a Trial Version patch or the final Opera Wii Browser to be released.
