Vulnerability 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

Verify the version of Ubuntu 24.04 LTS is vendor supported with the following command:

$ grep DISTRIB_DESCRIPTION /etc/lsb-release
DISTRIB_DESCRIPTION="Ubuntu 24.04.1 LTS"

If the installed version of Ubuntu 24.04 LTS is not supported, this is a finding.

Fix

Upgrade to a supported version of Ubuntu 24.04 LTS.
