To update your VCSA follow the steps below. The pictures maybe show different version numbers, but I’ve tested it with the listed versions.
Tested with:
This week VMware released the Update b for VCSA 6.7.0.
With this update VMware fixes a security issue regarding the hypervisor-assisted guest mitigation of CVE-2018-3639 for guest operating systems
The full information about the vCenter updates can be found here:
VMware vCenter Server 6.7.0b Release Notes
Version: vCenter Server 6.7.0b (6.7.0.12000)
Build: 8832884

The last days VCSA 6.7.0a gets GA. In this post I want to show the upgrade from VCSA 6.5 U1 to VCSA 6.7.0 (not a). In my other post (Update VCSA 6.7) I’ve made the update from 6.7.0 to 6.7.0a.
First thing to know is, there is no support to upgrade from 6.5 U2 to 6.7.0! So, if you are planning to update your existing VCSA 6.5 to Update 2 you have to wait for the (maybe) VCSA 6.7 Update 1 to migrate to 6.7.
For example there is also no support from Veeam Backup & Replication 9.5 Update 3 for vSphere 6.7 (www.veeam.com) Support will come with the next update.
(26thJun18 Veeam B& R 9.5 Update 3a is availiable)
VMware has made an KB article with important information before upgrade (kb.vmware.com)
Now lets start with the upgrade
This week VMware released the Update 1g for vCenter Server.
With this update VMware fixes two issues.
First it provides a part of the hypervisor-assisted guest mitigation (CVE-2017-5715) and second it fixes an issue with putting ESXi hosts into an empty EVC Cluster.
The full information about the vCenter updates can be found here: vCenter 6.5 Update 1fg
Version: vCenter Server 6.5 Update 1g (6.5.0.15000)

Just one month after releasing vCenter Update1e VMware released the Update 1f for vCenter Server.
The Update patches the vCSA operating system (Photon OS) against Spectre-1 (CVE-2017-5753) and Meltdown (CVE-2017-5754).
A patch for the Spectre-2-vulnerability (CVE-2017-5715) is still not availiable.
