*** <Update 2010-11-18> ***

The Server-Packages that fix the regression discovered in the October CU will be now available!
**** Update: the regression is Fixed and packages are republished now  ****  (http://sharepoint.microsoft.com/blog/Pages/BlogPost.aspx?pID=957)

If you have applied the regressed Oct CU Server-Package(s), you’ll only need to apply this new replacement package(s) and everything will be functioning as normal.

If you have not applied the regressed Oct CU Server-Package(s), or installed it after the fixed packages released, you need only put on the new replacement Server-Package(s).
The MS Foundation packages were not affected and therefore no need to reinstall them too.

The new Build Number will be now shown as 14.0.5128.5003 which shows the “fixed” build version. (The broken build is 14.0.5128.5000)
You can find this in the central admin page –  Update and migration – Product and patch installation status  // or to be short:   …/_admin/PatchStatus.aspx
