Hey there
I have followed the discussion regarding the issue of fixing the
dirtyCow thing, but I just wanted to make sure that I get things
right.
I have a server with wheezy and this is what I get for
> uname -a
3.2.0-4-amd64 #1 SMP Debian 3.2.73-2+deb7u2 x86_64 GNU/Linux
As far as I can see it, I will only get the appropriate kernel
version via backports.
These would be my sources.list
deb http://ftp.de.debian.org/debian/ wheezy main
deb-src http://ftp.de.debian.org/debian/ wheezy main
deb http://security.debian.org/ wheezy/updates main
deb-src http://security.debian.org/ wheezy/updates main
# wheezy-updates, previously known as 'volatile'
deb http://ftp.de.debian.org/debian/ wheezy-updates main
deb-src http://ftp.de.debian.org/debian/ wheezy-updates main
##############
What I need to do would be to add the backports:
deb http://ftp.debian.org/debian/ wheezy-backports main contrib
non-free
deb-src http://ftp.debian.org/debian/ wheezy-backports main
contrib non-free
apt-get update
apt-cache search linux-image
apt-cache search linux-headers
apt-get install -t wheezy-backports linux-image-amd64
linux-headers-amd64
followed by a reboot.
Would this fix it?
regards
pn
