Hello,
can someone please help me find out which kernel version (and
sub-version) I have? Don't scould, I have done the search on Google and
in the Debian documentation on how to find one's kernel version, but I
am confused by the results:
$ uname -v
#1 SMP Debian 3.16.7-ckt25-2+deb8u3 (2016-07-02)
$ uname -r
3.16.0-4-686-pae
$ apt-cache show linux-image-686-pae
Package: linux-image-686-pae
Source: linux-latest (63)
Version: 3.16+63
[...]
So is the kernel version of my system 3.16.7, 3.16.0 or 3.16.63?
(Backgroud: I wanted to find out whether the Dirty COW bug was fixed in
my system. According to
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dirty_COW#Remedies_and_recourse, it is
fixed from version 3.16.36-1+deb8u2 onwards.)
Kind greetings,
Georg
