Note: This is a historical reference, not a current security baseline. Magento 1 is end-of-life.
UPDATE: July 7, 2015: New Magento Security Patch (SUPEE-6285). Make sure to apply it after SUPEE-5994 installation. For details refer to How to install SUPEE-6285.
According to announce sent on May 15, 2015 to all Magento installations new security patch SUPEE-5994 should be installed in addition to two recent shoplift patches (SUPEE-5344 and SUPEE-1533).
Important: New Magento Security Patch – Install it Now It is important for you to download and install a new security patch (SUPEE-5994) from the Magento Community Edition download page https://magento.com/tech-resources/download. Please apply this critical update immediately to help protect your site from exposure to multiple security vulnerabilities impacting all versions of the Magento Community Edition software. Please note that this patch should be installed in addition to the recent Shoplift patch (SUPEE-5344).
New SUPEE-5994 patch can be downloaded as usual from Downloads page: https://magento.com/tech-resources/download You can install it in the same way as previous patches. To apply the patches you need SSH access (shell access actually, SSH is just most used way to get shell access) to the server. To apply patches without SSH access please refer to this article. If you wish to save time and have us to install these patches for you, simply click here to order installation.

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.

Perhaps you used the wrong -p or --strip option?

In the output above it can not find file get.php. To solve it should be enough to place the get.php file from Magento distribution into Magento root directory.

    As SUPEE-5994 is actually a bundle of patches for seven different vulnerabilities each tool has to be prepared for verification of every vulnerability. At this time, you can verify that patch is installed by looking into app/etc/applied.patches.list or testing every vulnerability manually on your store. The description of every vulnerability is available in the patch release notes: http://merch.docs.magento.c…
  2. magentary
    According to the output your files are heavily modified and just uploading new files over will lead to unpredictable results. Every modified file (with failed hunks) should be compared with corresponding file from original Magento distribution and every change reviewed and either rolled back to original or merged with patch changes manually.

    I’ve found it. This is what I was asking for > http://magentary.com/kb/ins…

    Thanks

    I had the same issue. The problem was in the different line separators for files in the project and default Magento. In my case I have had Windows line separators (CRLF) for the files in the project. Changing line separators to LF (Unix and Mac OS) have fixed this issue.
    1. Melanie
      I have the same problem. I am new an Unix Systems. How can I change the line separators ?
      1. Melanie
        I have found it out. Notepad++ can do this. Simply bring up the Replace dialog (CTRL+H), select Extended search mode (ALT+X), search for “\r\n” and replace with “\n”:

    how to find the patch is applied successfully if its not applied through .sh file?Is there any other way to verify it?
  6. Jeon Kings
    Hey, when I tried to install patch through SSH, it said, ‘\r’ command not found on line 7. Any idea how can I fix it?
    1. magentary
      There is no \r line endings in the original patch file, please make sure that you have downloaded it correctly, without any adjustments or tricks with text editor.
      1. Jeon Kings
        I didn’t modify it at all, I just tried that file in another installation, and it worked perfectly. Can it be an issue with the server itself?
        1. magentary

          As the shell says, there is \r line-ending in the patch file, but there are no \r line-endings in original patch file. You can verify if the file was transferred correctly with md5sum command, for 1.6-1.9 version it has the following md5sum: $ md5sum ./SUPEE-5994/1.6-1.9/PATCH_SUPEE-5994_EE_1.14.1….

          a6c13389079e1c71ffc4273a42e5086a ./SUPEE-5994/1.6-1.9/PATCH_SUPEE-5994_EE_1.14.1…. It should match to md5sum output on your system. If it does match, then it is the system (shell or environment). If it does not match, the file should be re-transferred without any possible line-endings conversion in the middle.

          1. Jeon Kings
            Thanks, checksum matched, Now I’m going to ask the server person if anything is wrong in configuration.
            1. magentary
              Great, it can be line-endings in environment files then, like .bashrc, .bash_profile or system-wide /etc/environment or /etc/profile, etc. Server person with local access should be able to troubleshoot it effectively.
  7. Davide
    I followed the steps and I got the message of patch installed succesfully. I am wondering why http://devdocs.magento.com/… they say as third step to reapply ownership to the files changed by the patch. I am not able to make this third step because I get no webserver name formthe command. What does it mean to reapply ownership of installed files, is that a needed step to make after the patch is correctly installed via SSH?
