What is CVE-2009-3046?

Opera versions prior to 10.00 contain a vulnerability that fails to adequately verify the revocation status of certain intermediate X.509 certificates. This oversight can potentially allow remote SSL servers to circumvent the validation process, thus enabling the use of revoked certificates, which poses significant security risks when establishing secure connections.
