Sorry if this is a basic question. So if I have a pihole, do I just need to update the Raspberry Pi software, along with updating pihole software to resolve the insecurities? Or do I need to change the DNS settings of the pihole?

If you use a third-party's DNS server (such as Cloudflare, Quad9 or Google) as your upstream DNS server, you only have to update PiHole.

If you have set up your own upstream DNS server using a DNS resolver like unbound or Bind9, update it as well as your PiHole.
