Thanks for the info - if Felix is right, then 4.7 (jessie backports) is
secure, since it was released months after the fix was pushed to the
mainline kernel.

However, it's somewhat strange that a bug labeled "Linux Kernel
Use-After-Free Remote Code Execution Vulnerability", concerning a lot of
kernels released in the last years
(http://www.securityfocus.com/bid/93304) seem to be fixed in android
only. Do you know any details?

Anyway, using jessie-backports seem to help, thus I'm going for it...

Thanks,
Greetz, Jan
