Does this matter?
High impact if exploited, but EPSS currently rates exploitation as unlikely (6.98%). Schedule it in the normal patch cycle and watch for a rise in EPSS or a public exploit.
Description
Opera before 10.53 on Windows and Mac OS X does not properly handle a series of document modifications that occur asynchronously, which allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code or cause a denial of service (application crash) via JavaScript that writes <marquee> sequences in an infinite loop, leading to attempted use of uninitialized memory. NOTE: this might overlap CVE-2006-6955.
