The official wheezy ISO is 7.6.0, released in August. Thus it doesn't have a fix for this vulnerability or the one from earlier this month. How do you update to

  You could mitigate it somewhat by switching your sources to HTTPS, assuming you trust the mirror you're using. (The official ftp.xx.debian.org mirrors don't support this, but some popular mirrors do; you're still at the mercy of your mirror, but not vulnerable to MITM attacks.) You could also download the package via normal HTTP and install it with dpkg: https://mirrors.ocf.berkeley.edu/debian-security/pool/updates/main/a/apt/apt_0.9.7.9+deb7u5_amd64.deb https://mirrors.ocf.berkeley.edu/debian-security/pool/update... (download the appropriate arch, of course) If you're deploying lots of wheezy systems, you could also rebuild the cd images (especially the netboot/netinst ones) very easily; the debian-installer docs are very detailed, and there are only a few steps. Note also that there are discussions for issuing a new release in the near future happening on the mailing list: https://lists.debian.org/debian-release/2014/09/msg00292.html https://lists.debian.org/debian-release/2014/09/msg00292.htm...
