Question Meltdown & Spectre on Ubuntu

Catia

Basic Pleskian
I'm running Plesk 17.0.17 on Ubuntu 16.04.3. My ISP sent out some info on Spectre & Meltdown urging everyone to upgrade their systems... problem is I can't make heads or tails out of the information. I'm about a far from being a Linux guru as one can get!

My question is this. Will the system updates through Plesk apply the required patches, or do I need to upgrade the kernel manually? If so, can somebody point me in the right direction for how to do that? Thanks!
