Opera 8.01 Download Dialog Spoofing Vulnerability

The good folks at Secunia are reporting a "moderately critical" security alert for Opera.
Successful exploitation may result in users being tricked into executing a malicious file via the download dialog, but requires that the "Arial Unicode MS" font (ARIALUNI.TTF) has been installed on the system.

The solution is to upgrade to Opera 8.02 - it is available here.
