ELS
Endless Lifecycle Support for Runtimes
Run EOL runtimes securely,
without rewriting your codebase.
CVE patches for PHP, Python, Node.js, Ruby, .NET, OpenJDK, and Perl versions that have reached end of life, delivered through your existing package manager. Stay secure on the versions your applications were built for without forced upgrades or extensive rework.

Unsupported Runtimes Leave Your Apps Exposed
Security Gaps
End-of-life runtimes leave security holes unpatched, exposing your applications to attacks.
Compliance Risks
Unsupported versions fail PCI DSS, HIPAA, FedRAMP, SOC 2, and other audit requirements.
Service Disruption
Rushed upgrades to newer versions often break applications and drive unplanned costs.
Derailed Roadmaps
Shifting focus from innovation to maintenance delays releases and drains business momentum.
TuxCare Endless Lifecycle Support keeps end-of-life runtimes secure, compatible, and compliant, so you can drive strategy, not firefighting.

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.
TuxCare has successfully resolved
more than 14,000 CVEs
in open-source software - keeping enterprise
systems secure and compliant

Efficiencies in Build Chains and Testing
We utilize advanced automation across CVE discovery, backporting, building, and release workflows to accelerate delivery and ensure the highest possible quality of security patches.
Identification and Patching of Transitive Dependencies
We go beyond surface-level scanning to uncover and fix hidden vulnerabilities deep in your dependency trees, securing the entire software supply chain with precision and scale.
Fast and Consistent Delivery of Patches with Supporting SLAs
Automated pipelines and mature workflows ensure rapid, reliable patch delivery backed by SLAs – giving you confidence in your risk management and compliance posture.
Frequently Asked Questions
No. ELS patches are delivered through standard package repositories. Your existing package managers (apt, yum, pip, npm, etc.) pull updates automatically – no pipeline changes required.
Upgrades require code changes, testing, and migration effort across your entire stack. ELS provides security patches for the version you’re already running – no breaking changes, no migration cost, and no disruption.
No. ELS provides actual remediation – not just detection. We identify vulnerabilities, backport fixes, validate them, and deliver production-ready patches.
Each patch is tested for integrity, functionality, and regression before being signed and published to ELS repositories.
While patches are extensively tested before release, if an issue arises in your specific environment, our support team works directly with you to resolve it.
ELS extends security coverage after vendor support ends. It focuses specifically on vulnerability remediation, not full vendor support.
We continue tracking newly disclosed CVEs, backporting fixes, and delivering patches – so your runtime remains secure even after upstream support ends.
