CVE-2004-0473

Argument injection vulnerability in Opera before 7.50 does not properly filter "-" characters that begin a hostname in a telnet URI, which allows remote attackers to insert options to the resulting command line and overwrite arbitrary files via (1) the "-f" option on Windows XP or (2) the "-n" option on Linux.
