Opera before 8.51 on Linux and Unix systems allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via shell metacharacters (backticks) in a URL that another product provides in a command line argument when launching Opera.

Weakness

The product constructs all or part of a command, data structure, or record using externally-influenced input from an upstream component, but it does not neutralize or incorrectly neutralizes special elements that could modify how it is parsed or interpreted when it is sent to a downstream component.
