Hey https://security-tracker.debian.org/tracker/CVE-2016-5195
Wheezy has its own applied patch on the 3.2.x kernel So you *should* probably be looking to update to kernel 3.2.82-1 instead of trying to install the Jessie kernel You *should* probably just leave the apt sources list alone and... Update the package list: $ apt-get update Perform a package upgrade: $ apt-get upgrade And then your reboot Then after reboot I would confirm that you are running 3.2.82-1 and you should be good to go if so.
