This patch resolves the following issue:

After upgrading to ESXi 4.0 Update 4, if you connect an older version of vSphere Client to ESXi 4.0 Update 4 host, you are prompted to upgrade the vSphere Client to vSphere Client 4.0 Update 4.
The vSphere Client upgrade is mandatory. You must use only the upgraded vSphere Client to access vSphere 4.0 Update 4.

None beyond the required patch bundles and reboot information listed in the table above.

The typical way to apply patches to ESXi hosts is through the VMware Update Manager. For details, see the VMware vCenter Update Manager Administration Guide.

ESXi hosts can also be updated using vSphere Host Update Utility or by manually downloading the patch zip file from http://support.vmware.com/selfsupport/download/ and installing the bulletin by using the vihostupdate command through the vSphere CLI. For details, see the vSphere CLI Installation and Reference Guide and the vSphere Upgrade Guide.
