I also like the new Opera version for Maemo.
Good work.

The hole is caused by a memory flaw when processing SVG content within framesets.
Simply visiting a compromised web page is enough for a system to become infected
with malicious code. Vazquez said that the exploit is successful in 3 out of 10 cases.
With the pre-alpha version of Opera 12, the exploit managed to inject malicious code
in 6 out of 10 cases.

I am not sure how much this will affect a Maemo device with Opera but be careful out there!
