The same way you would upgrade any other rpm(s). rpm -Uvh rpm_name. Now having said that a couple of things to watch out for. If upgrading glibc you need to do glibc and glibc-common on the same command line and you need to be sure you get the proper arch for the glibc package. If you have an i686 glibc package installed and you upgrade to the i386 package you are almost guaranteed to break your system. In addition to upgrade rpm you need to upgrade a couple of other packages on the same command line. I do not remember which atm but running rpm -Uvh rpm-whatever will tell you. Just add those packages to the command line and all should be well. Now the really easy way to do the upgrade, is to install yum or apt and let it handle all of the deps for you.
