I did a little searching, and from what I find, I don't think you can
without upgrading. The problem is not only the old kernel, but old
versions of X and the necessary libraries. The *only* other option you
would have, would be to build everything you need from source, and I
would *not* recommend you try that, as it could get you into a world of
trouble.

If this is a machine you rely on for business, then you want a stable
base. Upgrading core libraries and other components would be such an
intrusive procedure that you are very likely to bring the whole system
down.

I'm sorry, but I think you are out of luck until you are able to
upgrade the entire distribution. Take note that I haven't done any
extensive research into this, I just did a couple of quick searches,
but what I read makes me pretty sure that an upgrade is the best way
forward for you.
