Oracle Linux 9 Support: Frequently Asked Questions
Is the Oracle OS Oracle Linux 9 still supported?
Yes. The Oracle Linux 9 is currently supported by Oracle OS, and third-party support is available as an alternative — issue management, vulnerability remediation, and compliance help independent of the vendor contract.
When is the Oracle OS Oracle Linux 9 end of service life (EOSL) date?
Oracle OS lists the end of service life for the Oracle Linux 9 as Jun 30, 2035.
Can I keep using the Oracle Linux 9 after its EOSL date?
Yes. EOSL means Oracle OS 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 Oracle Linux 9 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.
Known Vulnerabilities Affecting Oracle Linux 9
7 published CVEs affect the Oracle OS Oracle Linux 9. Our 24/7 engineers help you assess exposure, prioritize fixes and apply available patches.
| CVE | Severity | CVSS | Published | Summary |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| CVE-2022-21505 | MEDIUM | 6.7 | Dec 24, 2024 | In the linux kernel, if IMA appraisal is used with the "ima_appraise=log" boot param, lockdown can be defeated with kexec on any machine when Secure Boot is disabled or unavailable. IMA prevents setting "ima_appraise=log" from the boot param when Secure Boot is enabled, but this does not cover cases where lockdown is used without Secure Boot. CVSS 3.1 Base Score 6.7 (Confidentiality, Integrity, Availability impacts). CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:H/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H). |
| CVE-2022-21385 | MEDIUM | 6.2 | Aug 29, 2022 | A flaw in net_rds_alloc_sgs() in Oracle Linux kernels allows unprivileged local users to crash the machine. CVSS 3.1 Base Score 6.2 (Availability impacts). CVSS Vector (CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H) |
| CVE-2026-21991 | MEDIUM | 5.5 | Mar 16, 2026 | A DTrace component, dtprobed, allows arbitrary file creation through crafted USDT provider names. |
| CVE-2023-22024 | MEDIUM | 5.5 | Sep 20, 2023 | In the Unbreakable Enterprise Kernel (UEK), the RDS module in UEK has two setsockopt(2) options, RDS_CONN_RESET and RDS6_CONN_RESET, that are not re-entrant. A malicious local user with CAP_NET_ADMIN can use this to crash the kernel. CVSS 3.1 Base Score 5.5 (Availability impacts). CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H). |
| CVE-2025-4598 | MEDIUM | 4.7 | May 30, 2025 | A vulnerability was found in systemd-coredump. This flaw allows an attacker to force a SUID process to crash and replace it with a non-SUID binary to access the original's privileged process coredump, allowing the attacker to read sensitive data, such as /etc/shadow content, loaded by the original process. A SUID binary or process has a special type of permission, which allows the process to run with the file owner's permissions, regardless of the user executing the binary. This allows the proc |
| CVE-2026-35233 | MEDIUM | 4.4 | May 1, 2026 | An unprivileged attacker can craft a user-space process with a malicious ELF binary containing an out-of-range sh_link field. When root-level dtrace attaches to -- or instruments -- that process (via dtrace -p , pid probes, or USDT), the ELF parser reads heap memory beyond the allocated section cache array without any bounds check. This results in an uninitialized/out-of-bounds heap read that can cause a NULL pointer dereference crash of the dtrace process (DoS), or -- depending on heap layout - |
| CVE-2026-21996 | LOW | 3.3 | May 1, 2026 | An unprivileged attacker can reliably trigger a crash of the dtrace process with a malicious ELF binary due to an integer Divide-by-Zero in Pbuild_file_symtab() |
