Keep your legacy Linux servers patched and compliant – no risky rebuilds, downtime, hardware upgrades, or added workload.
Endless Lifecycle Support for Ruby
Keep EOL Ruby versions secure while you manage your upgrade timeline
Currently supported versions:
2.6 2.7 3.0 3.1 3.2
CVE patches for Ruby 2.6, 2.7, 3.0, 3.1, and 3.2 past their end-of-life dates. Ruby 3.2 reached EOL in March 2026. Delivered through your existing package manager on your schedule, not the community's.

TuxCare keeps you ahead of threats by proactively tracking and patching new CVEs impacting Ruby. View all security fixes available to date here.
Keep Running.
Skip the Risks.
Upgrading a Ruby application means more than bumping a version number – gem compatibility issues, deprecated syntax, and framework dependencies can make even a well-maintained codebase a significant migration effort.
Endless Lifecycle Support keeps your Ruby environment patched and stable long after the end-of-life date, so you can migrate on your timeline – not under pressure.

How Does It Work?
1
We onboard new projects and enable 24/7 automated CVE tracking – monitoring the NVD, vendor, and GitHub security advisories, and other sources.
2
Once CVEs are detected, we backport upstream fixes using algorithmic and AI-assisted automation, with expert validation to ensure accuracy.
3
Patches are compiled in a binary format, extensively tested (for integrity, functionality, and regression), signed, and deployed to ELS repositories.
4
Your package managers, build tools, or orchestrators check for updates, then automatically pull and install them.

Frequently Asked Questions
As of 2026, everything through Ruby 3.2. The 2.6 line ended in 2022, 2.7 in 2023, 3.0 in 2024, 3.1 in 2025, and 3.2 in 2026. Ruby's support window runs three to four years per line, after which no security releases are published. ELS for Ruby continues patching 2.6 through 3.2.
Security fixes for Ruby 2.6, 2.7, 3.0, 3.1, and 3.2, delivered as TuxCare-built alt-ruby packages from a signed repository. Patches go into the interpreter version you already run, so no application changes are required.
TuxCare's Ruby packaging, installed under /opt/alt/, that lets multiple Ruby versions coexist on one server. Different applications or users can each run the version they need, and switching the active version is a PATH change rather than a rebuild — useful for hosting environments and mixed-workload servers.
EL 8, EL 9, and EL 10 (AlmaLinux, CentOS, CentOS Stream, CloudLinux, Oracle Linux) as RPMs; Debian 11, 12, and 13 and Ubuntu 22.04 and 24.04 as DEBs; Alpine Linux 3.22 as APKs. x86_64 across all of them, plus aarch64/arm64 on Debian 12 and 13 and Alpine.
No. ELS covers the runtime, so a Rails application pinned to an older Ruby keeps running unchanged. That decouples the interpreter's security posture from a framework upgrade, which is normally the expensive half of the work.
It shouldn't. Fixes are backported within the same minor line, so ABI and C-extension compatibility hold and gems compiled against your current Ruby keep loading. Packages are regression-tested before release, with a 14-day target for CVSS 7.0+ CVEs.
