Am I correct in understanding that the wheezy kernel is affected, too?
I have not yet tried to apply the fix, so I can't comment on that. I can install the 3.2 backports kernel on this system to see if Wheezy is also affected, but I assume it is if the fix is in 3.3.
I've booted the 3.2.32 bpo kernel and it is indeed affected. I'll see if I can find time to build a test kernel with the patch applied.
