Konqueror is a part of TDE/KDE, and integrated too.
Unfortunately,
until the KHTML rendering engine gets replaced, I don't think there
will be security updates for Konqueror. As Michael pointed out,
there's a lack of man power to help speed things along.

I didn't mean to sound like I expected the Trinity team to start
hacking on KHTML in order to address the security issue. I appreciate
that an enormous amount of work would be involved, and that you
just don't have enough developers. I just wanted to raise the point
because nobody had mentioned what I thought was a very serious
issue.
I agree that the only feasible way to tackle the problem would be to
use another rendering-engine in Konqueror. I imagine that this would
still be a massive task (I am not a programmer) and perhaps still more
work than you are able to take on at this time; but maybe one day...
