You should be concerned about this bug if you have users signed up and posts in your trash, but if you are the only Admin then it should not necessarily concern you. I would upgrade to the new version by clicking the link at the top of your dashboard and upgrading Automatically or by going to Tools–>Upgrade.

This is from WordPress.org explaining the upgrade bug:

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.

From what I have been reading the end of August will be a good time for WordPress bloggers. They are expecting to release WordPress 3.0 which will add more options for your blog! You can read about the 3.0 upgrade here, but it is somewhat written in code to keep prying eyes at bay.
