Re: What patches/packages to install for specific bugs.



Ciao,
   Thanks much for all the information. I looked for the Wheezy versions for each of the bug fix,  DSA 3503, DSA 3511, DSA 3514, DSA 3548, DSA 3550, DSA 3556, DSA 3696. But the number of versions are very different. 

DSA 3503 was fixed in Wheezy version 3.2.73-2+deb7u3, 
dsa-3514 was fixed in Wheezy version 2:3.6.6-6+deb7u7
 DSA 3511 was fixed in Wheezy version 1:9.8.4.dfsg.P1-6+nmu2+deb7u10
dsa-3548 was fixed in Wheezy version 2:3.6.6-6+deb7u9
dsa-3550 was fixed in Wheezy version  6.0p1-4+deb7u
dsa-3556 was fixed in Wheezy version 2.0.36~rc1~dfsg-6.1+deb7u2
dsa-3696 was fixed in Wheezy version 3.2.78-1

I was told version newer than 3.14 might have fixes for them. But how to compare version 3.2.73 to version :9.8.4.dfsg.P1-6+nmu2+deb7u10?  These version numbers look strange. Thanks.
Will below commands apply patch for above bugs? These commands are very helpful though. Thanks.

$ apt-get update
 $ apt-get -u upgrade
 $ apt-get
 -u dist-upgrade

 to install to fix the bug of DSA 3503.
 
 if you look in the CVE link you find if there
 is a patch and where is 
 it, ... for example
 if you open the first CVE:
 https://security-tracker.debian.org/tracker/CVE-2013-4312
 
 you can see that it is fixed
 in:
 * stretch in the version 4.9.51-1
 * stretch (security) in the version
 4.9.30-2+deb9u5
 * ...

 no, you can apply the patch
 with three command:
 $ apt-get update
 $ apt-get -u upgrade
 $ apt-get
 -u dist-upgrade
 
 if you have
 a proper /etc/apt/sources.list file
 
 I suggest you to use the deb.debian.org with
 https protocol
 Read here for more
 details:
 https://deb.debian.org/
 
 I suggest you to have at least
 these two line in the sources.list
 
 Note: replace the "testing" with your
 Debian distro
 
 deb https://deb.debian.org/debian testing
 main contrib non-free
 deb https://deb.debian.org/debian-security
 testing/updates main contrib 
 non-free
 
 Ciao
 Davide
