I have a 4.7.0 installation. I want to apply this security update. The zip contains 2 files, umbraco.dll and umbraco.pdb. Currently, no umbraco.pdb file exists in my present installation. Do I need to add this new file from the zip or do I only need that if I already had an umbraco.pdb file present?
It's not required. It contains debug information for the corresponding DLL.
You can keep it in the bin folder but be aware that if you ever have customErrors set to 'Off' and your users receive a server error, they'll see more information about your site than you might care to share.
