Kernel upgrade due to security threat (need a good guide)

Hey all,
I was wondering if there is a more detailed kernel guide (compared to official gentoo one) ?

I may have some security problems on my server because of the older kernel in use, so i need to upgrade ASAP. Please point a newbie to a good guide so i can get a kernel exploit closed.

Thanks all

You may want to consider using hardened-sources.
If you're system is very old, you may want to change to a more recent profile too.
