This week, hole in both IE and Konqueror was revealed. It related to 
certificate handling. A bogus user could piggyback off of a legitimate 
certificate and collect sensitive data. Who has already fixed it? The KDE 
folks, of course! The people who discovered the hole are still waiting for a 
reply from Microsoft. The details are here:

The Register is, once again, the best news source for these things.
