To determine if the patch is applied successfully and the bash rpm is the latest

  1. Log in to the ESX service console and check the esxupdate query output. Bash bulletin should be listed as:
    [root@localhost ~]# esxupdate query | grep -i bash
    ESX410-201410401-SG 2014-09-29T23:31:53 Updates bash

  2. Check that the latest bash vib is in the installed state using esxupdate query. It should be listed as:
    [root@localhost ~]# esxupdate query --v | grep -i bash
    rpm_bash_3.2-33.el5_10.4@x86_64 installed 2014-09-29T23:31:45.351974+05:30
    [root@localhost ~]#
    [root@localhost ~]#

Note: As the REBOOT tag is on, reboot the host after applying the patch.
