How to upgrade to ESX 8.0U2B?

[gmorris]

Hello

We have.a requirement to upgrade our ProLiant DL180 Gen10 to ESXi 8.0 U2b in order to fix a security vulnerability - VMSA-2024-0006

I see that there is not a download for this from HPE, could you advise the best way to get this patched please?

Thanks

Geraint
