The flaw affects KDE 3.2.0 up to and including KDE 3.5.0, it said.
The newest version of KDE released in November, KDE 3.5, is apparently not affected.

Does this make any sense?

Only if the current version of KDE 3.5 is at revision level 1 or higher (3.5.1 or higher). It would have been smarter writing to have been more specific, rather than just referring to the major/minor release numbers.

The KDE hole was discovered Thursday...

After being in place since at least February 2004, when KDE 3.2 was released. Someone want to explain that "many eyeballs" business to me again?
