As you mentioned, this is said to be fixed by

        commit 5195d8e217a7
        Author: Eric Paris <[email protected]>
        Date:   Tue Jan 3 14:23:05 2012 -0500

            audit: dynamically allocate audit_names when not enough
            space is in the names array

which is part of 3.3.

Am I correct in understanding that the wheezy kernel is affected, too?
What is the impact of this bug --- does it flood logs in some
situations, for example, or does it lose important information?  Is
the fix harmless or does it have potential downsides?

With thanks, lazily,
Jonathan
