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.

Thanks​
