Red Hat Security Advisory 2017-0862-01 - In accordance with the Red Hat Enterprise Linux Errata Support Policy, support for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 was retired on March 31, 2017, at the end of Production Phase 3 and active support is no longer provided. As the product will now be in the Extended Life Phase, customers will continue to have access to all previously released content, and limited technical support will be available through Red Hat's Customer Experience and Engagement as described in the Knowledge Base article available at https://access.redhat.com/articles/64664. However, we recognize that some customers will wish to remain on Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 even after the March 31, 2017 retirement date. To meet this customer requirement, Red Hat will offer customers the option to purchase the Extended Life Cycle Support Add-On as an annually renewable subscription. This ELS Add-On provides customers with up to an additional three and a half years of Critical Impact security fixes and selected Urgent Priority bug fixes for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.11. Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 ELS coverage will conclude on November 30, 2020.

1. Summary:

This is the final notification for the retirement of Red Hat Enterprise
Linux 5. This notification applies only to those customers subscribed to

3. Description:

In accordance with the Red Hat Enterprise Linux Errata Support Policy,
support for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 was retired on March 31, 2017, at
the end of Production Phase 3 and active support is no longer provided. As
the product will now be in the Extended Life Phase, customers will continue
to have access to all previously released content, and limited technical
support will be available through Red Hat's Customer Experience and
Engagement as described in the Knowledge Base article available at
https://access.redhat.com/articles/64664 (search for "non-current minor
release").

However, we recognize that some customers will wish to remain on Red Hat
Enterprise Linux 5 even after the March 31, 2017 retirement date. To meet
this customer requirement, Red Hat will offer customers the option to
purchase the Extended Life Cycle Support (ELS) Add-On as an annually
renewable subscription. This ELS Add-On provides customers with up to an
additional three and a half (3.5) years of Critical Impact security fixes
and selected Urgent Priority bug fixes for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.11.
Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 ELS coverage will conclude on November 30, 2020.

UPDATE: Note that the Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 ELS Add-On is available
for the x86 (32- and 64-bit) and z Systems architectures only. The Red Hat
Enterprise Linux 5 ELS Add-On is not available for the Itanium
architecture. In addition, the Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 ELS Add-On is
only available for Server, and does not apply to layered products or
Add-Ons.

To enjoy even more comprehensive product support, we encourage customers to
migrate from Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 to a more recent version. As a
benefit of the Red Hat subscription, customers may, of course, use their
active subscriptions to entitle any system on any currently supported Red
Hat Enterprise Linux release.

Instructions for migrating from Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 to Red Hat
Enterprise Linux 7 are available at
https://access.redhat.com/articles/1211223.
Red Hat also has a Pre-upgrade Assistant tool to aid with the migration of
Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 systems to Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7. For more
information about this tool, please see
