I just saw this thread in the OLM forum. Possibly of interest, since they say it includes CentOS 5, if the update hasn't been released yet.
Always good  to keep boxes updated, for security and stability
reasons.

I posted the above Saturday night and there was very little activity in this mailing list over the weekend. Anyone using Apache on CentOS
5, heads up!

Just did the upgrade on one of my servers, however, udev is one of those items that starts right at the beginning of boot up, and has no init script to stop and start it, so I guess a total reboot is required??

According to the RHEL errata the udevd daemon automatically gets restarted on installing the update.

Andrew,
I checked and it did not start the daemon. However please not that I had manually killed it yesterday pending the patch....
So I guess a reboot is in my server's future...
