The Installed Operating System Is Vendor Supported

An XCCDF Rule

Description

The installed operating system must be maintained by a vendor. Oracle Linux is supported by Oracle Corporation. As the Oracle Linux vendor, Oracle Corporation is responsible for providing security patches.

warning alert: Warning

There is no remediation besides switching to a different operating system.

Rationale

An operating system 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 any security issue discovered in the system software.
