I mentioned in another reply, but since it's a really useful and barely
documented feature I'll mention it again.
Rpm's --setperms option fixes this easily. For example:
[root@satsuki root]# ls -l /bin/bash
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 599860 Dec 9 13:09 /bin/bash
[root@satsuki root]# chmod o-x /bin/bash
[root@satsuki root]# ls -l /bin/bash
-rwxr-xr-- 1 root root 599860 Dec 9 13:09 /bin/bash
[root@satsuki root]# rpm --setperms bash
[root@satsuki root]# ls -l /bin/bash
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 599860 Dec 9 13:09 /bin/bash
The --setugids option does the same thing with botched ownership.
Definitely no need to reinstall. =;)
