Get the 8.04.3 image. There is no danger and in fact it's a good deal
safer as it incorporates all the security fixes between 8.04.1 and
8.04.3; in fact, if you've been installing security fixes regularly it
will save you good deal of bandwidth in the case of a reinstall.

You can see a list of the bugs addressed in the annoucement mail.
