Title
The Oracle Linux operating system must be a vendor-supported release. (Cat I impact)
Discussion
An operating system release is considered "supported" if the vendor continues to provide security patches for the product. With an unsupported release, it will not be possible to resolve security issues discovered in the system software.
Check Content
Verify the version of the operating system is vendor supported. Check the version of the operating system with the following command: # cat /etc/oracle-release Oracle Linux release 6.10 Current end of Support for Oracle Linux 6 is 31 March 2024. If the release is not supported by the vendor, this is a finding.
Fix Text
Upgrade to a supported version of the operating system.
