And if you updated solely through yum, /var/log/yum.log is a time-stamped list. It's unfortunate that /var/log/rpmpkgs doesn't have the same format. :(

it looks like one of the recent updates will sometimes chmod /dev/null to 600. out of 20 machines i've updated, 3 of them had the odd /dev/null perms afterwards. i haven't tried to identify what it doing it yet, but wanted to give a heads up to others that might start seeing weird behavior.
Look in /etc/udev/rules.d/50-udev.rules. My copy has the line:
KERNEL=="null", MODE="0666", OPTIONS="last_rule"
You haven't managed to mess with this rule?
no changes to udev rules. and this happens immediately after the update is run, no reboot required. what is weird is that the config on the systems i run are pretty close to each other, so why only a few got hit by this is odd. i had one happen yesterday and thought i had just done something stupid, but then more popped up today immediately after doing updates, so that is why the warning.
Ok now for some work... Gather up a list of your RPMs you updated and well check them all for /dev/null changes for te culprit.
