Greenbone’s OPENVAS SCAN Now Covers Ubuntu 26.04 LTS Security Notices!
Defenders deploying Ubuntu will be pleased to know that Greenbone’s OPENVAS SCAN now includes detection for Ubuntu 26.04 LTS security notices via the OPENVAS ENTERPRISE FEED and COMMUNITY FEED. Ubuntu 26.04 LTS, aka “Resolute Raccoon”, is a long-term support (LTS) version of Ubuntu that was released on April 23rd, 2026. LTS releases receive standard security updates and critical bug fixes for five years, meaning Ubuntu 26.04 LTS will be supported until April 2031. Support for Ubuntu 26.04 LTS extends OPENVAS SCAN’s existing detection capabilities for Ubuntu security advisories going back to Ubuntu 5.10.
Greenbone’s OPENVAS SCAN has industry-leading detection for many popular Linux distributions via authenticated Local Security Checks (LSC). Authenticated LSCs provide reliable detection because they analyze endpoint systems from within, build an asset inventory, uncover package-level software vulnerabilities, and identify other security misconfigurations.
Defenders seeking to detect and protect can try Greenbone’s OPENVAS BASIC for free, including a two-week trial of the OPENVAS ENTERPRISE FEED.
Operating system (OS) security updates are critical for maintaining a strong enterprise security posture. A single flaw may give an attacker the initial access needed to execute a costly cyber attack. OS vulnerabilities impact all aspects of IT infrastructure, including on-premises and cloud assets, fleets of staff workstations, development environments, container hosts, virtualization platforms, and edge infrastructure. New regulations and compliance requirements are also demanding greater accountability and placing heavier burdens on IT security teams. Defenders need improved visibility into emerging security risks to effectively prioritize remediation.

Support for Ubuntu 26.04 LTS Security Notices Is Here!
Canonical publishes Ubuntu Security Notices (USNs) when security issues are fixed in official Ubuntu packages. A typical USN identifies the affected package, affected Ubuntu releases, associated CVE IDs, vulnerability impacts, and the package updates required for remediation.
Organizations deploying Ubuntu 26.04 LTS can now use Greenbone’s OPENVAS SCAN to detect Ubuntu 26.04 security notices in both the OPENVAS ENTERPRISE FEED and COMMUNITY FEED.

Summary
Linux systems form the backbone of many enterprise environments, supporting critical infrastructure, cloud platforms, staff workstations, development systems, container hosts, and production workloads. Maintaining Linux security requires consistent visibility into vulnerabilities and timely patch management. Effective OS-level vulnerability management reduces exposure to exploitation, supports regulatory compliance, and helps organizations maintain a resilient security posture.
Organizations deploying Ubuntu 26.04 LTS can now use Greenbone’s OPENVAS SCAN to detect Ubuntu security notices via the OPENVAS ENTERPRISE FEED and COMMUNITY FEED.
