Greenbone’s OPENVAS SCAN Now Covers Fedora 44 Security Advisories!
Defenders deploying Fedora will be pleased to know that Greenbone’s OPENVAS SCAN now includes detection for Fedora 44 security advisories via the OPENVAS ENTERPRISE FEED and COMMUNITY FEED. Fedora Linux 44 was released on April 28th, 2026, and releases are typically maintained for 13 months. Fedora 44 has been assigned an expected end-of-life (EOL) date of May 19th, 2027. Support for Fedora 44 extends OPENVAS SCAN’s existing detection capabilities for Fedora security advisories going back to Fedora 7.
Greenbone’s OPENVAS SCAN has industry-leading detection for 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 Fedora 44 Security Advisories Is Here!
Fedora security advisories are published through the Fedora Updates System, also known as Bodhi. Each advisory includes a unique advisory identifier, affected package builds, update status, a list of associated CVEs, an overall severity rating, and testing status for the patch.
Organizations deploying Fedora 44 will be excited to know that Greenbone’s OPENVAS SCAN now supports vulnerability detection for Fedora 44 security advisories in both the OPENVAS ENTERPRISE FEED and the 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 Fedora Linux can now use Greenbone’s OPENVAS SCAN to detect Fedora 44 security advisories via the OPENVAS ENTERPRISE FEED and COMMUNITY FEED. This adds security visibility for a newly released Fedora platform and helps defenders identify missing security updates across Fedora systems using authenticated package-level detection.
Fedora 44 support joins other popular Linux operating systems supported in both the OPENVAS ENTERPRISE FEED and COMMUNITY FEED, including Ubuntu, Debian, Suse, OpenSuse, Huawei EulerOS, OpenEuler, and Mageia. Greenbone’s OPENVAS ENTERPRISE FEED supports additional Linux distributions, including Amazon Linux, Oracle Linux, AlmaLinux OS, FortiOS, and many more.
Defenders can try Greenbone’s OPENVAS BASIC for free, including a two-week trial of the OPENVAS ENTERPRISE FEED.
