compatibility, security updates to help maintain production
environments
Red Hat, Inc. (NYSE: RHT), the world's leading provider of open
source solutions, today announced the general availability of Red
Hat Enterprise Linux 6.10, the latest update to the Red Hat
Enterprise Linux 6 platform. This update includes resolutions for
recently discovered Spectre/Meltdown security vulnerabilities. To
make it easier for customers to plan their migration to Red Hat
Enterprise Linux 7, Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.10 provides updates
to the Pre-upgrade Assistant, Red Hat Upgrade Tool, and the
accompanying documentation.
This release also includes a Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.10 base
image to help enterprises more easily migrate Red Hat Enterprise
Linux 6 workloads into container-based applications. These
cloud-native workloads can then be deployed and maintained on a
more modern platform, including Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7, Red Hat
Enterprise Linux Atomic Host, and Red Hat OpenShift Container
Platform.
Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.10 marks the transition from the
Maintenance Support 1 lifecycle phase to the Maintenance Support 2
phase. In order to help provide customers with a stable environment
for the remainder of the Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6 lifecycle, only
critical security fixes and business-impacting urgent issues have
been addressed. Examples include the addition of retpoline-based
mitigations for the Spectre/Meltdown vulnerabilities, an updated
GNU Compiler Collection (GCC), and rebased gcc-libraries
packages.
AvailabilityRed Hat Enterprise Linux 6.10 is now
available to all Red Hat customers with an active Red Hat
Enterprise Linux subscription.

stability and predictability through our extensive platform
lifecycle. This provides organizations with greater confidence that
their production platforms will remain supported and will receive
