Alert Key Compromised, upgrade required

I just got this message: "Alert key compromised, upgrade required". How urgent is this? Am I in danger of losing my Bitcoin? What do I do?

The network wide Alert system is being retired. No Bitcoins are at risk and this warning may be safely ignored. Upgrade to the newest version of your wallet software to no longer see the alert.
