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.
