Re: Re: Which kernel version (and sub-version) do I have?

2017-03-13 Thread Georg Stillfried 

Yes.  Two of the above.

You are running Debian kernel 3.16.7-ckt25-2+deb8u3 which is compatible
with the kernel ABI used in Debian kernel *package* 3.16.0-4-686-pae.



https://security-tracker.debian.org/tracker/CVE-2016-5195  confirms
that you want 3.16.36-1+deb8u2.


Thank you for your quick reply!

Or that.  It's the same as uname -a, just in pieces.

No, not yet.

You are running a kernel that is older than this.  If you have
installed a newer kernel, you have not yet rebooted into it.

https://security-tracker.debian.org/tracker/CVE-2016-5195 confirms
that you want 3.16.36-1+deb8u2.  (Best not to rely 100% on wikipedia
without verification.)

Which kernel version (and sub-version) do I have?

2017-03-13 Thread Georg Stillfried 

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
