RHEL 10 End of Life Date
RHEL 10 end-of-life date, support status, and CVE risk. Data from endoflife.date and official vendor documentation.
RHEL 10 was released on May 20, 2025 and support is scheduled to end on May 31, 2035 — a planned supported lifespan of 10 years, in line with the 10 years and 1 month median for RHEL LTS releases. It is a long-term support (LTS) release, so it carries a longer patch window than the interim releases around it. Its most recent patch is 10.2, published May 20, 2026.
What does RHEL 10 end of life mean?
When RHEL 10 reaches end of life, the maintainers stop issuing security patches for this version. CVEs discovered after the EOL date are publicly disclosed on the National Vulnerability Database with no patch available. Exploit code frequently appears on GitHub within days of disclosure.
The CVE blind spot: Most vulnerability scanners check for known CVEs but do not flag the ongoing accumulation of unpatched vulnerabilities in EOL software versions. Running RHEL 10 past its EOL date creates a permanently growing attack surface that standard security tooling will not surface.
Migrate to RHEL 10 or implement compensating controls — network segmentation, enhanced monitoring, restricted access — while migration is underway.
