The Installed Operating System Is Vendor Supported
An XCCDF Rule
Description
The installed operating system must be maintained by a vendor. Red Hat Enterprise Linux is supported by Red Hat, Inc. As the Red Hat Enterprise Linux vendor, Red Hat, Inc. 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.
