 The patched jessie kernels have not been released (see [https://security-tracker.debian.org/tracker/CVE-2017-5754 this debian page for status info]) however... the backported stretch kernel has been released.
 
-It hasn't hit the apt repos yet (10:48 pm America/New_York) however, I have installed on octavia, floriberto and chavez via [https://incoming.debian.org/debian-buildd/pool/main/l/linux/linux-image-4.9.0-0.bpo.5-amd64_4.9.65-3+deb9u2~bpo8+1_amd64.deb direct download]. If you use the direct download version, first run `apt-get install linux-base/jessie-backports` then `wget https://incoming.debian.org/debian-buildd/pool/main/l/linux/linux-image-4.9.0-0.bpo.5-amd64_4.9.65-3+deb9u2~bpo8+1_amd64.deb && dpkg -i linux-image-4.9.0-0.bpo.5-amd64_4.9.65-3+deb9u2~bpo8+1_amd64.deb`. Let's begin with this kernel!
