| TuxCare's [Extended Lifecycle Support (ELS) for OS](https://tuxcare.com/extended-lifecycle-support/) service provides security updates, system enhancement patches, and selected bug fixes for older versions of a variety of Linux distributions, including CentOS 6, Oracle Linux 6, CentOS 7, Oracle Linux 7, CentOS 8, CentOS Stream 8, Ubuntu 16.04, and Ubuntu 18.04. These distributions have either reached their end of standard support from vendors or have reached End of Life (EOL). | ||

These distributions have either reached their end of standard support from vendors or have reached End of Life (EOL). | ||

|
||
| Our ELS service is designed to provide solutions for organizations that are not yet ready to migrate to newer versions and that are seeking long-term stability for their out-of-date operating systems. The service coverage includes updates for the Linux kernel and a list of essential packages that are integral to server operations. | ||
|

||
| ### Vulnerability coverage | ||
|
|
||
| TuxCare employs the Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS v3) to assess the severity of security vulnerabilities. Our severity rating system for patching vulnerabilities integrates both NVD scoring and vendor scoring (when available). When the vendor's score is lower than the NVD score, we give priority to the NVD score. | ||
|
|
||
| TuxCare Extended Lifecycle Support, by default, provides security patches for High and Critical vulnerabilities (with a 7+ CVSS score). For vulnerabilities rated as Medium (4.0 to 6.9), TuxCare can provide patches for CVE's where mitigations are not available and there is sufficient customer demand. | ||

For vulnerabilities rated as Medium (4.0 to 6.9), TuxCare can provide patches for CVE's where mitigations are not available and there is sufficient customer demand. | ||
|
|
||
| Custom coverage options are available, including a 10-pack of customer-directed patches for clients who need CVEs patched outside of the ELS scope. Specific details regarding these coverage options and their pricing can be obtained by contacting our sales team. | ||
