RTS = Released to Support
NOTE: Supported Linux kernels (operating system).
- VSEL 1.9.x supports all kernel versions on the supported operating systems.
- For VSEL 2.0.x, the kernel version must be 2.6.38 or later for the supported operating systems.
- Linux distributions, based on a supported version such as RHEL but modified and hardened by vendors, are treated as separate distributions and are not supported, unless explicitly specified in this article.
- Excluding the distributions and operating systems (OS) listed below, VSEL will not support future OS releases because of known vulnerabilities.
- Existing customers are needed to upgrade to Endpoint Security for Linux (ENSL). For ENSL supported environments, see KB87073.
- Distributions that are not supported by the OS vendor, will also not be supported.
