If the administration page informs you that there is an update available then you can update. It may be advisable to stop Squeezebox Server first with
 +
service squeezeboxserver stop
 +
Then
 +
yum --enablerepo=squeezecenter-release update squeezeboxserver

'''You will need to re-patch the three files detailed above after each update.'''

 +
Once all is updated and re-patched, restart
 +
