Very specific Linux kernel version

Post by ayu »

So, I needed to test an exploit yesterday on an old Linux machine.
I set up a VM to mimic the machine to try it but I'm not sure if it's really 100% accurate.

The machine I need to test is:

Code: Select all

Linux version 2.6.32-5-amd64 (Debian 2.6.32-48squeeze3) (dannf@debian.org) (gcc version 4.3.5 (Debian 4.3.5-4) ) #1 SMP Fri May 10 08:43:19 UTC 2013
But the one I set up is

Code: Select all

Linux version 2.6.32-5-amd64 (Debian 2.6.32-48squeeze6) (jmm@debian.org) (gcc version 4.3.5 (Debian 4.3.5-4) ) #1 SMP Tue May 13 16:34:35 UTC 2014
Does the squeeze6 matter?
Is that some patch number that can effect my test?
The test failed on my test machine so, and I don't want to test it live until I can be certain everything will go well.
If I want the squeeze3 one to test, where/how could I accuire it?

Thanks in advance :)

yes, it is a patch number, and usually those are important security fixes that had to be created and applied fast, normal updates affect the actual version number instead.

I don't have a squeeze box ready atm, but usually you can simply install the version needed via apt-get:
