Amazon Linux 2023 Support: Frequently Asked Questions
Is the AWS Amazon Linux 2023 still supported?
Yes. The Amazon Linux 2023 is currently supported by AWS, and third-party support is available as an alternative — issue management, vulnerability remediation, and compliance help independent of the vendor contract.
When is the AWS Amazon Linux 2023 end of service life (EOSL) date?
AWS lists the end of service life for the Amazon Linux 2023 as Jun 30, 2029.
Can I keep using the Amazon Linux 2023 after its EOSL date?
Yes. EOSL means AWS stops issuing patches and support — the software itself keeps running. Third-party support covers it from there: issue management, security vulnerability remediation, and the compliance documentation auditors ask for, for as long as you choose to run it.
How much does third-party support for the Amazon Linux 2023 cost?
Typically 40-70% below the OEM maintenance renewal price. Exact pricing depends on quantity, service level and location — request a quote and we respond within 24 hours.

| CVE | Severity | CVSS | Published | Summary |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| CVE-2024-6387 | HIGH | 8.1 | Jul 1, 2024 | A security regression (CVE-2006-5051) was discovered in OpenSSH's server (sshd). There is a race condition which can lead sshd to handle some signals in an unsafe manner. An unauthenticated, remote attacker may be able to trigger it by failing to authenticate within a set time period. |
| CVE-2026-31431 | HIGH | 7.8 | Apr 22, 2026 | In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: crypto: algif_aead - Revert to operating out-of-place This mostly reverts commit 72548b093ee3 except for the copying of the associated data. There is no benefit in operating in-place in algif_aead since the source and destination come from different mappings. Get rid of all the complexity added for in-place operation and just copy the AD directly. |
