Title

Ubuntu 22.04 LTS must be a vendor-supported release.

Control

Verify the version of Ubuntu 22.04 LTS is vendor supported with the following command: $ grep DISTRIB_DESCRIPTION /etc/lsb-release DISTRIB_DESCRIPTION="Ubuntu 22.04.1 LTS" Check the subscription status of the system with the following command: $ pro status If the installed version of Ubuntu 22.04 LTS is not supported, this is a finding.

Discussion

An operating system release 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 security issues discovered in the system software. The support status of the OS depends on its subscription status. End of life dates for Ubuntu 22.04 releases are as follows: Standard Support: April 2027 Extended Security Maintenance (ESM): April 2032 ESM is available via an Ubuntu Pro subscription.
