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.

Check Content

Check the version of the operating system.

Example:
# cat /etc/SuSE-release
-	OR – (if more detail is required)
# sam --no-rpm-verify-md5 --spreport

SUSE Linux Enterprise Server  9:  31 Aug 2011
SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 10:  31 Jul 2013

Check with the vendor for additional information.

If the version installed is not supported, this is a finding.
