I thought only IE had these kind of issues..... ;)
Nah. But the difference is that the patch was released with the flaw information. MS would wait until the screams from customers would force them to patch.

Nothings perfect. While this is considered "critical" since it can allow another to execute arbitrary code on an affected machine; it is a rather narrow vulnerability. For it to be exploited one would have to visit a web site and use Konquerer as the browser. Now I'm sure a few folks browse with Konquerer, but the vast majority use Firefox, Mozilla, or Opera; non of which are vulnerable to this flaw.
Just the same, I've already downloaded and applied the patch!
