System Update 3.5.2 patches the following three traps:

  sysTrapSysResSemaphoreReserve
  sysTrapSysResSemaphoreRelease
  sysTrapExgDBRead

For more info try:

And/or search the knowledgebase.

Admittedly, our web page doesn't really go into any detail about what the update 
actually fixes... :oS But I can tell you that only a couple of our licensees were 
affected by the semaphore bug, and only a handful of customers and developers were 
affected by the exchange manager bug, though the problems themselves were definitely 
serious enough to warrant a fix. I do very strongly recommend that all customers 
everywhere always be sure to have the very latest System Update installed on their 
device.
