due to the method in which the Microsoft® Excel program saves files, in certain corner cases the access control list (ACL) inheritance rules could have been interpreted in the wrong order, and the owner of a file saved by Excel could have ended up losing access to that file. These updated packages include an adjusted fix for this problem which fixes the ACL inheritance so that saving an Excel file does not cause the owner to change. (BZ#501513)

a user who did not own a directory on a Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 machine accessed via Samba was also unable to write to that directory when its permissions were set to 733. The user should have been able to both write to and enter (but not list the contents of) a directory with such a permission mode. With this update, users are once again able to write to directories over Samba when they possess the appropriate permissions, thus resolving this issue. (BZ#501514)
