Step 0: Preparations

Make sure to Disable Magento Compiler at System > Configuration > Tools > Magento Compiler and clear compiled cache.

Step 1: Verify your Magento version

$ grep -A6 'static function getVersionInfo' app/Mage.php
    public static function getVersionInfo()
    {
        return array(
            'major'     => '1',
            'minor'     => '9',
            'revision'  => '1',
            'patch'     => '0',

As you can see in the example, it is Magento 1.9.1.0

Step 2: Download corresponding patches

Patches are obtained from https://magento.com/tech-resources/download Make sure to get the right version.

Step 3: Place patches into Magento Root directory

Upload your files into Magento root directory. It is important to place patch files directly into Magento root directory and execute it also directly in Magento root directory.

$ ls -1 .
PATCH_SUPEE-5994_EE_1.14.1.0_v1-2015-05-14-05-05-02.sh
app
cron.php
downloader
errors
favicon.ico
index.php
js
lib
mage
media
pkginfo
robots.txt
shell
skin
var

 

Step 4: Run the patches

$ bash ./PATCH_SUPEE-5994_EE_1.14.1.0_v1-2015-05-14-05-05-02.sh
Checking if patch can be applied/reverted successfully...
Patch was applied/reverted successfully.

Step 5: Verification and flush of PHP opcode cache

Verify patch status at our patch tester page. Test that your store is working. If you use PHP opcode caches (APC/XCache/eAccelerator) make sure to flush it after patching, otherwise code will continue to run from caches. Additionally, if your store still using default /admin/ path, you may consider securing your Magento /admin/ by admin path change and restrict access to /downloader/. If you have any difficulties with applying the patches please let us know in comments, so we can find the solution together.
