CVE-2008-3172
Opera allows web sites to set cookies for country-specific top-level domains that have DNS A records, such as co.tv, which could allow remote attackers to perform a session fixation attack and hijack a user's HTTP session, aka "Cross-Site Cooking."

Does this matter?
Lower severity and a low EPSS score (1.20%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.
