As reported by Fedora-announce, the patch was released on Fri. If you've 
updated since Saturday, you're probably fine --- from the announcement:

"Update Information:

A heap overflow flaw was discovered affecting kjs, the
JavaScript interpreter engine used by Konqueror and other
parts of KDE. An attacker could create a malicious web site
containing carefully crafted JavaScript code that would
trigger this flaw and possibly lead to arbitrary code
execution. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project
assigned the name CVE-2006-0019 to this issue. "
