WARNING! update thy Wii Browser immediately...

Warning: Update Thy Nintendo Wii Browser! | Nintendo Wii News: With A Side Order Of Everything Else Nintendo

Wii Opera Web Browser exploit

Wii owners know that there are few things less traumatic than taking the time to type out a long URL on their Opera browser, only to have the page crash for some mysterious reason. It would be slightly less scarring with a keyboard, that's for sure.
But according to McAfee Alert Labs, the reason isn't always mysterious; it's because of a malicious little exploit. It turns out a JPEG image with a malformed header can crash the Internet Channel. That's the bad news, which those who are brave can witness below:



The good news is that Opera already knows about the problem and version 9.10 is patched and has rendered the exploit powerless. But Wii's trial version is pre-patch, and it has to be manually updated.
So don't be lazy -- if you haven't updated your browser since April 11th, go forth to the store and get to it.

No it's not the final version came out April 11th... and the last sentence says...if you haven't updated your browser since April 11th, go forth to the store and get to it. meaning if you downloaded the final version go update it with the patch...
