This update contains a fix for a security issue, with thanks for Roee Hay of IBM Rational Application Security Research Group for reporting it to us; Apps on Android are supposed to be isolated, so that in general, they cannot access files belonging to other apps. This is a security feature of Android that is intended to provide some level of protection against malicious apps, preventing them from being able to modify the behavior of other apps. Before this release, Opera created cache files with permissions that were not restrictive enough. This allowed other installed apps to read and modify Opera's cache files, potentially gaining access to sensitive information, or performing cross site scripting against target sites.
