Dangerous Kernel Update

I've just dowloaded:

kernel-2.4.18-27.7.x.i686.rpm

to my Red Hat Linux 7.2 machine to fix the security hole. I know installing kernel updates is pretty dangerous.. Especially considering I don't have physical access to the machine (its in a datacenter, I use ssh only).

Is there much danger in just doing a rpm -iv on this?

Thanks,
Ben
