Wordpress has released version 2.6.3 to fix a vulnerability in the Snoopy library which is used to pull in the feeds you see in your Control Panel. As with each security update, Wordpress is recommending that you grab the upgrade which can be found here.

Even though the Snoopy library vulnerabity would seem to be low risk, any security hole should be fixed and in this case you can go the easy rout if you so desire and just upload the following 2 files and overwrite the ones from version 2.6.2

wp-includes/class-snoopy.php
wp-includes/version.php
