Keep your apps running safely on the runtimes they were built for, without rushed upgrades or broken code – even after official support ends.
Keep securely running your apps on EOL libraries – without rushed upgrades, costly code rewrites, or disruption to your roadmap.
Ensure your EOL apps stay secure and operational while avoiding outages, broken workflows, and code rewrites.
If It's Open Source
and Not on Our List,
TuxCare has successfully resolved
in open-source software - keeping enterprise
systems secure and compliant
Rapid SLA-backed security patches
for as long as you need
Cybercriminals actively exploit newly discovered flaws – especially in unsupported systems. With guaranteed timelines and rapid patch delivery, TuxCare keeps your infrastructure protected and ahead of evolving threats.
Security fixes for both direct and transitive
dependencies AT NO EXTRA COST
Fixing the parent package doesn’t automatically address risks hidden in its dependencies, leaving multiple layers vulnerable. ELS protects you at every level, covering both direct and transitive dependencies without added cost.
Get patches quickly and securely –
no extra tooling is needed
All ELS updates are delivered through secure, TuxCare-hosted repositories, ensuring verified, tamper-proof delivery directly to your systems. Packages are signed and built to enterprise standards so that you can trust every update.
ELS packages fit right
into your existing workflows
TuxCare’s ELS packages plug into your existing workflows and CI/CD pipelines, with full support for yum, apt, pip, Maven, Gradle, npm and others. Updates flow through your current toolchain without disruptions and process changes.
Around-the-clock expertise
whenever you need it
TuxCare’s global support team is available 24/7/365 to provide responsive assistance with:
We onboard new projects and enable 24/7 automated CVE tracking – monitoring the NVD, vendor, and GitHub security advisories, and other sources.
Once CVEs are detected, we backport upstream fixes using algorithmic and AI-assisted automation, with expert validation to ensure accuracy.
Patches are compiled in a binary format, extensively tested (for integrity, functionality, and regression), signed, and deployed to ELS repositories.
Your package managers, build tools, or orchestrators check for updates, then automatically pull and install them.
It’s extremely easy to implement and reduces the effort of securing our older software releases, while providing greater predictability and flexibility in our release planning.”

15 years of proven excellence in open-source patching have created highly
automated processes and systems, providing:
We provide long-term security across your entire stack, supporting a wide and continually expanding set of open-source projects, libraries, and runtimes – all from a single, trusted partner.
We utilize advanced automation across CVE discovery, backporting, building, and release workflows to accelerate delivery and ensure the highest possible quality of security patches.
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.
Automated pipelines and mature workflows ensure rapid, reliable patch delivery backed by SLAs – giving you confidence in your risk management and compliance posture.
Endless Lifecycle Support, or ELS, is TuxCare’s extended security support for open-source software that has reached end of life. ELS delivers ongoing CVE patches for out-of-support operating systems, language runtimes, libraries, and applications, so you can keep running the versions your applications depend on without rushed migrations or disruptive upgrades.
Not without added protection. After software reaches end of life, upstream maintainers stop issuing security fixes, but new CVEs keep appearing. Attackers often target unsupported systems because they know patches are no longer coming. ELS closes that gap by continuing to patch the end-of-life version you already run for as long as you need.
Yes. ELS covers the full open-source stack, including end-of-life operating systems like CentOS 7, language runtimes, libraries, development frameworks, and applications. TuxCare is your single trusted partner that supports a broad and growing list of open-source projects, with additional coverage available on request.
As long as you need to. ELS is designed to provide security patches for out-of-support versions indefinitely, well beyond the upstream end-of-life date. That turns upgrade or migration timing into a business decision instead of a security deadline.
No. ELS exists to avoid forced upgrades. TuxCare backports security fixes into the versions you already run, so your applications can stay on the runtimes, libraries, and OS releases they were built for while you plan upgrades or migrations on your schedule.
TuxCare monitors CVEs 24/7 across trusted sources such as the NVD, vendor advisories, and GitHub security advisories. When a relevant CVE appears, TuxCare backports the fix, validates it, tests for integrity and regressions, signs the update, and publishes it through secure TuxCare repositories. Updates flow through existing package managers and build tools, including yum, apt, pip, Maven, Gradle, npm, and others.
Fifteen years of open source patching, with the track record to back it. TuxCare has fixed more than 14,000 vulnerabilities, delivered over 420,000 patches, and curates 36,000+ packages across 11,000+ kernels and 70+ Linux distribution versions for 2,700+ enterprise clients. ELS adds SLA-backed patch timelines, signed and tested package delivery, coverage for both direct and transitive dependencies, and 24/7/365 global support.
Tell us your challenges, and our experts will help you find the best approach to address them with the TuxCare product line.
