Greenbone’s OPENVAS SCAN Now Covers Red Hat 10 and Rocky Linux 10 Security Advisories!
Operating system (OS) security updates are critical for maintaining a strong enterprise security posture. OS vulnerabilities in on-prem and cloud assets, fleets of staff workstations, development environments, container hosts, virtualization platforms, and edge infrastructure may offer an attacker the initial access they need to execute a costly cyber attack. Linux, especially Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL), is often the OS of choice for mission-critical enterprise servers, cloud workloads, and security-sensitive production environments.
New regulations and compliance requirements are placing greater accountability and burden on security teams. Defenders need improved visibility into emerging security risks in order to effectively prioritize remediation.
Defenders deploying Linux will be excited to know that Greenbone’s OPENVAS SCAN now includes detection for RHEL 10 and Rocky Linux 10 security advisories via the OPENVAS ENTERPRISE FEED. Support for RHEL 10 and Rocky Linux 10 adds to existing detection capabilities for RHEL 7, 8, and 9 [1][2][3], and Rocky Linux 8 and 9 [4][5]. Defenders can try Greenbone’s OPENVAS BASIC for free, including a two-week trial of the OPENVAS ENTERPRISE FEED.
Linux software vulnerabilities present a significant IT security risk. Vulnerabilities must be publicly disclosed for defenders to maintain visibility and apply patches, but disclosure also gives attackers insight into new potential attack vectors.
Greenbone’s OPENVAS SCAN has industry-leading detection for all popular Linux distributions via authenticated Local Security Checks (LSC). Authenticated LSCs for Linux provide the most reliable detection because they analyze endpoint systems from within, building an asset inventory, uncovering package-level software vulnerabilities, and identifying other security misconfigurations.

Support for Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) 10 Security Advisories is Here!
Red Hat publishes Security Advisories (RHSAs) to its Customer Portal. A typical RHSA includes an advisory ID, synopsis, severity, affected products, and remediation details, plus a list of relevant CVE IDs, their impact, and Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS) score.
Organizations deploying RHEL 10 will be excited to know that Greenbone’s OPENVAS SCAN now supports vulnerability detection for RHEL 10 security advisories. RHEL 10 coverage is only available with an active subscription for the OPENVAS ENTERPRISE FEED. Right now, defenders can try Greenbone’s OPENVAS BASIC for free, including a two-week trial of the OPENVAS ENTERPRISE FEED.

Support for Rocky Linux 10 Security Advisories is Here!
Rocky Linux is a community-driven, enterprise-focused Linux distribution designed to be compatible with RHEL. The Rocky Linux kernel is built from publicly available Red Hat sources and aligned with the same core ecosystem for package management, SELinux for security hardening, and systemd for system-level service architecture. Rocky is typically chosen by organizations that want the stability that RHEL offers without the subscription costs—typically cloud hosting providers, lab environments, and SaaS teams running large fleets.
Organizations deploying Rocky Linux 10 will be excited to know that Greenbone’s OPENVAS SCAN now supports vulnerability detection for Rocky Linux 10 security advisories. Rocky Linux 10 coverage is only available with an active subscription for the OPENVAS ENTERPRISE FEED. Right now, defenders can try Greenbone’s OPENVAS BASIC for free, including a two-week trial of the OPENVAS ENTERPRISE FEED.

Summary
Linux systems form the backbone of many enterprise environments, supporting critical infrastructure, cloud platforms, 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 demands, and helps organizations maintain a resilient security posture.
Organizations deploying Linux can now use Greenbone’s OPENVAS SCAN to detect RHEL 10 and Rocky Linux 10 security advisories via the OPENVAS ENTERPRISE FEED along with detection for other Linux distributions, including Amazon Linux, Oracle Linux, AlmaLinux OS, FortiOS, and more. Many other popular Linux OSs are supported in both the OPENVAS ENTERPRISE FEED and COMMUNITY FEED, including, Ubuntu, Fedora, Debian, Suse, OpenSuse, Huawei EulerOS, OpenEuler, Mageia, and more.
