Security News > 2022 > January > Patching the CentOS 8 Encryption Bug is Urgent – What Are Your Plans?

Just two weeks after reaching the official end of life, something broke spectacularly, leaving CentOS 8 users at major risk of a severe attack - and with no support from CentOS. You'd think that this issue no longer affects a significant number of organizations because by now, companies would have migrated away from CentOS 8 to an OS that is actively supported by vendors.

Just the same with Red Hat, which backs CentOS. But, with CentOS 8 now no longer officially supported, a CentOS 8 patch for the LUKS flaw is not going to appear.

Your patching options if you're still on CentOS 8.

TuxCare delivers high quality patches for end of life distributions such as CentOS 8 and does so on time.

It's definitely not the last CVE to come out that affects CentOS 8.

It's a solid way to obtain ongoing protection against new CVEs that affect CentOS 8 - buying you time to migrate to another OS..
