Affects Red HatSource GCVE Database

Description

Red Hat Satellite Proxy versions 5.2 through 5.5 reached end-of-life (EOL) on May 29, 2015. After this date, Red Hat discontinued technical support, software maintenance, bug fixes, security updates, and product enhancements for these versions. Users are strongly encouraged to upgrade to supported versions such as 5.6 or newer to maintain security and support.

Impact

The affected versions (5.2 to 5.5) no longer receive security updates or bug fixes after May 29, 2015, which increases the risk of unpatched vulnerabilities and operational issues. Continued use of these unsupported versions may expose organizations to security risks due to lack of vendor support and updates.

Defensive guidance

Users must upgrade to Red Hat Satellite Proxy version 5.6 or newer prior to May 29, 2015, to maintain support and receive security updates. Red Hat offers technical support and consulting services to assist with migration. No further security updates or bug fixes will be provided for versions 5.5 and older.

Summary

Red Hat announced the end-of-life for Red Hat Satellite Proxy versions 5.2, 5.3, 5.4, and 5.5 effective May 29, 2015. This EOL means that these versions no longer receive technical support, security updates, or bug fixes. Red Hat continues to support versions 5.6 and newer. Customers using affected versions are advised to plan and execute upgrades to supported versions to avoid unsupported software risks. Red Hat provides resources and consulting services to assist with migration.
