Updated ruby packages that fix a regression are now available.
Ruby is an extensible, interpreted, object-oriented, scripting language. It has features to process text
files and to do system management tasks.
These updated ruby packages fix the following bug:
* a regression introduced by the fix for
point in BigDecimal objects to be dropped, which could have led to incorrect mathematical
calculations. This update fixes this problem by ensuring that leading zeros following a decimal point in
BigDecimal objects are not dropped.
A link to the update which introduced this regression is provided in the References section of this

All users of ruby are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which resolve this issue.

Note
This update has already been released (prior to the GA of this release) as errata
RHBA-2009:1641
Updated samba packages that fix credentials file handling for mount.cifs are now available for Red Hat
Enterprise Linux 5.
Samba is a suite of programs used by machines to share files, printers, and other information.
The kernel CIFS client mount helper binary (mount.cifs) uses details stored in a credentials file to
authenticate with file servers. After a recent security update, mount.cifs no longer parsed credentials
files correctly, and included trailing newlines in the authentication information. Attempts to authenticate
would therefore fail with errors such as NT_STATUS_LOGON_FAILURE. The parsing code is now
corrected and no longer includes the newline as part of the authentication details. Mount.cifs can
therefore use credentials files to authenticate with file servers successfully.
