Kernel patching

["David Chima" <david at sdnp.org.mw>]

Hello Afnog,
I use Redhat Linux 7.2. I have found some package vulnerabilities on the Redhat site 
https://rhn.redhat.com/errata/rh72-errata.html and one of these is the kernel. I need to 
update some of these packages that I use on my machine including the kernel. I tried 
to use up2date but I was told that up2date wasnt registerd. I am told I can use the 
source rpms and then compile the kernel. I would like to find out what should I do 
inorder to update the kernel and the other packages that have the vulnerabilities. 
I was advised not to update the rpms with (--nodeps).

What should I begin with?

Regards

David
