Ubuntu 24.04 'Noble Numbat' (LTS) Support: Frequently Asked Questions
Is the Ubuntu 24.04 'Noble Numbat' (LTS) still supported?
Yes. The Ubuntu 24.04 'Noble Numbat' (LTS) is currently supported by Ubuntu, and third-party support is available as an alternative — issue management, vulnerability remediation, and compliance help independent of the vendor contract.
When is the Ubuntu 24.04 'Noble Numbat' (LTS) end of service life (EOSL) date?
Ubuntu lists the end of service life for the Ubuntu 24.04 'Noble Numbat' (LTS) as May 31, 2036.
Can I keep using the Ubuntu 24.04 'Noble Numbat' (LTS) after its EOSL date?
Yes. EOSL means Ubuntu 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 Ubuntu 24.04 'Noble Numbat' (LTS) 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 Ubuntu 24.04 'Noble Numbat' (LTS)
16 published CVEs affect the Ubuntu 24.04 'Noble Numbat' (LTS), including 6 rated critical or high severity. Our 24/7 engineers help you assess exposure, prioritize fixes and apply available patches.
| CVE | Severity | CVSS | Published | Summary |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| CVE-2025-32463 | CRITICAL | 9.3 | Jun 30, 2025 | Sudo before 1.9.17p1 allows local users to obtain root access because /etc/nsswitch.conf from a user-controlled directory is used with the --chroot option. |
| 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-2026-47333 | HIGH | 7.8 | May 28, 2026 | Ubuntu Linux 6.8, 6.17 and 7.0 contain AppArmor SAUCE patches which can potentially incorrectly compute the size of an internal buffer, leading to a heap memory out-of-bounds read in notification handling code. The bug can be triggered by an unprivileged local user and can result in invalid data being processed by the AppArmor DFA policy engine. |
| CVE-2026-47331 | HIGH | 7.8 | May 28, 2026 | Ubuntu Linux 6.8 contains AppArmor SAUCE patches which fail to acquire a lock when modifying a linked list. An unprivileged local user could trigger the race condition that can lead to a use-after-free (UAF) and, theoretically, arbitrary code execution. |
| 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. |
| CVE-2026-3888 | HIGH | 7.8 | Mar 17, 2026 | Local privilege escalation in snapd on Linux allows local attackers to get root privilege by re-creating snap's private /tmp directory when systemd-tmpfiles is configured to automatically clean up this directory. This issue affects Ubuntu 16.04 LTS, 18.04 LTS, 20.04 LTS, 22.04 LTS, and 24.04 LTS. |
| CVE-2026-3497 | MEDIUM | 6.9 | Mar 12, 2026 | Vulnerability in the OpenSSH GSSAPI delta included in various Linux distributions. This vulnerability affects the GSSAPI patches added by various Linux distributions and does not affect the OpenSSH upstream project itself. The usage of sshpkt_disconnect() on an error, which does not terminate the process, allows an attacker to send an unexpected GSSAPI message type during the GSSAPI key exchange to the server, which will call the underlying function and continue the execution of the program with |
| CVE-2026-47328 | MEDIUM | 6.1 | May 28, 2026 | Ubuntu Linux 6.8, 6.17 and 7.0 contain AppArmor SAUCE patches which incorrectly attempt to free a pointer which was not previously kmalloc()d, while at the same time leaking allocated memory. The bug can be triggered by an unprivileged local user and can result in the corruption of slab metadata and could lead to resource exhaustion. |
| CVE-2025-26466 | MEDIUM | 5.9 | Feb 28, 2025 | A flaw was found in the OpenSSH package. For each ping packet the SSH server receives, a pong packet is allocated in a memory buffer and stored in a queue of packages. It is only freed when the server/client key exchange has finished. A malicious client may keep sending such packages, leading to an uncontrolled increase in memory consumption on the server side. Consequently, the server may become unavailable, resulting in a denial of service attack. |
| CVE-2026-47334 | MEDIUM | 5.5 | May 28, 2026 | Ubuntu Linux 6.8, 6.17 and 7.0 contain AppArmor SAUCE patches which incorrectly sleep while holding a spinlock in notification handling code. The bug can be triggered by an unprivileged local user and can result in kernel panic or deadlock. |
| CVE-2026-47332 | MEDIUM | 5.5 | May 28, 2026 | Ubuntu Linux 6.8, 6.17 and 7.0 contain AppArmor SAUCE patches which incorrectly validate the size of an internal structure, leading to an out-of-bounds read in notification handling code. The bug can be triggered by an unprivileged local user and can result in information disclosure from adjacent slab objects. |
| CVE-2026-47326 | MEDIUM | 5.5 | May 28, 2026 | Ubuntu Linux 6.8, 6.17 and 7.0 contain SAUCE patches with a memory leak in the handling of big responses to AppArmor notifications. The bug can be triggered by an unprivileged local user. The memory leak could lead to resource exhaustion. |
| CVE-2025-5054 | MEDIUM | 4.7 | May 30, 2025 | Race condition in Canonical apport up to and including 2.32.0 allows a local attacker to leak sensitive information via PID-reuse by leveraging namespaces. When handling a crash, the function `_check_global_pid_and_forward`, which detects if the crashing process resided in a container, was being called before `consistency_checks`, which attempts to detect if the crashing process had been replaced. Because of this, if a process crashed and was quickly replaced with a containerized one, apport |
| CVE-2026-47330 | LOW | 3.3 | May 28, 2026 | Ubuntu Linux 6.8, 7.17 and 7.0 contain AppArmor SAUCE patches which can, under certain circumstances, use an uninitialized variable in notification handling code. The bug can be triggered by an unprivileged local user and can result in the incorrect caching of AppArmor notification responses. |
| CVE-2026-47329 | LOW | 3.3 | May 28, 2026 | Ubuntu Linux 6.8, 6.17 and 7.0 contain SAUCE patches which fail to validate invalid sizes of the name field in AppAmor notification responses. The bug can be triggered by an unprivileged local user and could result in handling of crafted responses. |
| CVE-2026-47327 | LOW | 3.3 | May 28, 2026 | Ubuntu Linux 6.8, 6.17 and 7.0 contain SAUCE patches with a possible NULL pointer dereference in the handling of AppArmor notifications. The bug can be triggered by an unprivileged local user. This can lead to a kernel oops. |
