Get the latest patch from VMware here:

Look for something like
update-from-esxi5.1-5.1_update03
I think you want embeddable and installable
Upload the patch to a datastore visible from the host.
Shut down the VMs.
Put the host into maintenance mode.
Enable SSH:
Configuration | Security Profile | Properties | SSH
Connect via Putty to the host.
Run this command:
esxcli software vib update -d /vmfs/volumes/<your_datastore>/update-from-esxi5.1-5.1_update03.zip
It will take a few minutes. Afterward, the screen will spit out a bunch of text.
Reboot the host.
Check the version number with vSphere or use the command line:
esxcli system version get
Exit maintenance mode.
