It fixes an important issue that makes devices end up in a boot loop (the devices were crashing during boot, endlessly) when installing certain applications. It also fixes a security issue[1] that enables an attacker to decrypt and/or modify WiFi traffic. This can be problematic if your security is relying on on the WiFi encryption. This can be the case if you are using WiFi to connect to your device your device to use applications like Remote Keyboard[2] over telnet. This can also be problematic if you share your Internet connection trough WiFi and that some services of the phone operator you use are available without authentication. Because of the above, updating to this version is strongly recommended.
