Hey there

I have followed the discussion regarding the issue of fixing the 
dirtyCow thing, but I just wanted to make sure that I get things right.

I have a server with wheezy and this is what I get for

 > uname -a

3.2.0-4-amd64 #1 SMP Debian 3.2.73-2+deb7u2 x86_64 GNU/Linux
As far as I can see it, I will only get the appropriate kernel version 
via backports.

These would be my sources.list

deb http://ftp.de.debian.org/debian/ wheezy main
deb-src http://ftp.de.debian.org/debian/ wheezy main

deb http://security.debian.org/ wheezy/updates main
deb-src http://security.debian.org/ wheezy/updates main

# wheezy-updates, previously known as 'volatile'
deb http://ftp.de.debian.org/debian/ wheezy-updates main
deb-src http://ftp.de.debian.org/debian/ wheezy-updates main

##############

What I need to do would be to add the backports:

deb http://ftp.debian.org/debian/ wheezy-backports main contrib non-free
deb-src http://ftp.debian.org/debian/ wheezy-backports main contrib non-free

|apt-get update|
|apt-cache search linux-image|
|apt-cache search linux-headers|
|apt-get install -t wheezy-backports linux-image-amd64 linux-headers-amd64|

|
followed by a reboot.|

|Would this fix it?|

|regards|
