Title

SLEM 5 must be a vendor-supported release. (Cat I impact)

Discussion

A SLEM 5 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 that the version of SLEM 5 is vendor supported with the following command: > cat /etc/os-release NAME="SLE Micro" VERSION="5.2" ... If the installed version of SLEM 5 is not supported, this is a finding.

Fix Text

Upgrade SLEM 5 to a version supported by the vendor. If the system is not registered with the SUSE Customer Center, register the system against the correct subscription. If the system requires Long-Term Service Pack Support (LTSS), obtain the correct LTSS subscription for the system.
