The new update of WordPress fixes a security vulnerability that was previously reported by Thomas Mackenzie on his personal blog. The vulnerability affects all WordPress installations with the version number 2.9.0 or later. Previous WordPress installations are not affected by the vulnerability (but are insecure because of other reasons).
Thomas Mackenzie alerted us to a problem where logged in users can peek at trashed posts belonging to other authors. If you have untrusted users signed up on your blog and sensitive posts in the trash, you should upgrade to 2.9.2. As always, you can visit the Tools->Upgrade menu to upgrade.
You can download the latest update here or upgrade directly from your wp-admin.
Happy Blogging.
