It was brought to my attention by antiX user Rademes that the Dirty COW vulnerability was still present on 64 bit antiX-16 (not 64 bit antiX-16.1 nor 32 bit antiX-16)) after a dist-upgrade.

For some reason the correct linux-image deb was updated, but does not auto-upgrade even though the headers do.

All 64bit antiX-16 users (full, base and core) should do the following.

apt-get update
apt-get dist-upgrade
apt-get install --reinstall linux-headers-4.4.10-antix.1-amd64-smp linux-image-4.4.10-antix.1-amd64-smp

Thanks for the information. I'm just performing this upgrade (from AntiX64 16 to 16.1) now.
