A newly-released version of WordPress fixes a potential data leak issue with the popular blogging system.

According to a post on the official WordPress Development blog, the problem at issue allows logged-in users to view trashed posts that belong to other authors.

This is the second maintenance release in the 2.9 series, which was originally released last December and introduced the trash feature for the first time.

The upgrade can be applied to an existing installation through its self-update feature or downloaded directly from the WordPress site.
