Ubuntu 6.10 'Edgy Eft' Support: Frequently Asked Questions
Is the Ubuntu 6.10 'Edgy Eft' still supported?
Ubuntu ended support for the Ubuntu 6.10 'Edgy Eft' on Apr 26, 2008 — no more patches or fixes from the vendor. Third-party support keeps it covered: our engineers manage issues, remediate vulnerabilities, and help you maintain compliance for as long as you run it.
When is the Ubuntu 6.10 'Edgy Eft' end of service life (EOSL) date?
Ubuntu lists the end of service life for the Ubuntu 6.10 'Edgy Eft' as Apr 26, 2008.
Can I keep using the Ubuntu 6.10 'Edgy Eft' 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 6.10 'Edgy Eft' 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-2007-0956 | HIGH | 10.0 | Apr 6, 2007 | The telnet daemon (telnetd) in MIT krb5 before 1.6.1 allows remote attackers to bypass authentication and gain system access via a username beginning with a '-' character, a similar issue to CVE-2007-0882. |
| CVE-2008-0888 | HIGH | 9.3 | Mar 17, 2008 | The NEEDBITS macro in the inflate_dynamic function in inflate.c for unzip can be invoked using invalid buffers, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) and possibly execute arbitrary code via unknown vectors that trigger a free of uninitialized or previously-freed data. |
| CVE-2008-1195 | HIGH | 9.3 | Mar 6, 2008 | Unspecified vulnerability in Sun JDK and Java Runtime Environment (JRE) 6 Update 4 and earlier and 5.0 Update 14 and earlier; and SDK and JRE 1.4.2_16 and earlier; allows remote attackers to access arbitrary network services on the local host via unspecified vectors related to JavaScript and Java APIs. |
| CVE-2007-6427 | HIGH | 9.3 | Jan 18, 2008 | The XInput extension in X.Org Xserver before 1.4.1 allows context-dependent attackers to execute arbitrary code via requests related to byte swapping and heap corruption within multiple functions, a different vulnerability than CVE-2007-4990. |
| CVE-2007-2834 | HIGH | 9.3 | Sep 18, 2007 | Integer overflow in the TIFF parser in OpenOffice.org (OOo) before 2.3; and Sun StarOffice 6, 7, and 8 Office Suite (StarSuite); allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a TIFF file with crafted values of unspecified length fields, which triggers allocation of an incorrect amount of memory, resulting in a heap-based buffer overflow. |
| CVE-2007-1667 | HIGH | 9.3 | Mar 24, 2007 | Multiple integer overflows in (1) the XGetPixel function in ImUtil.c in X.Org libx11 before 1.0.3, and (2) XInitImage function in xwd.c for ImageMagick, allow user-assisted remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) or obtain sensitive information via crafted images with large or negative values that trigger a buffer overflow. |
| CVE-2007-0777 | HIGH | 9.3 | Feb 26, 2007 | The JavaScript engine in Mozilla Firefox before 1.5.0.10 and 2.x before 2.0.0.2, Thunderbird before 1.5.0.10, and SeaMonkey before 1.0.8 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) and possibly execute arbitrary code via certain vectors that trigger memory corruption. |
| CVE-2006-6143 | HIGH | 9.3 | Dec 31, 2006 | The RPC library in Kerberos 5 1.4 through 1.4.4, and 1.5 through 1.5.1, as used in Kerberos administration daemon (kadmind) and other products that use this library, calls an uninitialized function pointer in freed memory, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) and possibly execute arbitrary code via unspecified vectors. |
| CVE-2006-6504 | HIGH | 9.3 | Dec 20, 2006 | Mozilla Firefox 2.x before 2.0.0.1, 1.5.x before 1.5.0.9, and SeaMonkey before 1.0.7 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code by appending an SVG comment DOM node to another type of document, which triggers memory corruption. |

| CVE-2021-3493 | HIGH | 8.8 | Apr 17, 2021 | The overlayfs implementation in the linux kernel did not properly validate with respect to user namespaces the setting of file capabilities on files in an underlying file system. Due to the combination of unprivileged user namespaces along with a patch carried in the Ubuntu kernel to allow unprivileged overlay mounts, an attacker could use this to gain elevated privileges. |
| CVE-2021-3492 | HIGH | 8.8 | Apr 17, 2021 | Shiftfs, an out-of-tree stacking file system included in Ubuntu Linux kernels, did not properly handle faults occurring during copy_from_user() correctly. These could lead to either a double-free situation or memory not being freed at all. An attacker could use this to cause a denial of service (kernel memory exhaustion) or gain privileges via executing arbitrary code. AKA ZDI-CAN-13562. |
| CVE-2007-2443 | HIGH | 8.3 | Jun 26, 2007 | Integer signedness error in the gssrpc__svcauth_unix function in svc_auth_unix.c in the RPC library in MIT Kerberos 5 (krb5) 1.6.1 and earlier might allow remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a negative length value. |
