Ubuntu 16.04 LTS transitions to Extended Security Maintenance (ESM)

Canonical

This article was updated in September 2021 to reflect the new lifecycle of 16.04.

Ubuntu 16.04 LTS ‘Xenial Xerus’ transitions into the extended security maintenance (ESM) support phase at the end of April 2021 from its standard, five-year maintenance window for Ubuntu long term support (LTS) releases. Xenial Xerus is still supported until April 2026 with Extended Security Maintenance (ESM) through Ubuntu Advantage for Infrastructure, and on the public cloud with Ubuntu Pro for AWS, Azure and Google Cloud. ESM is also available to personal users on up to three machines and Ubuntu members on 50 machines. Ubuntu 16.04 is a Common Criteria certified operating system, providing access to FIPS 140-2 certified cryptographic modules with a solid history of timely security fixes.

Ubuntu long term support (LTS) releases provide a stable, enterprise platform for development and production, with five years of guaranteed public maintenance available. Once the public Standard Security Maintenance window comes to a close, Ubuntu LTS releases have an additional five years of support (depending upon the release) through ESM, in addition to providing a built-in upgrade in-place path to the next LTS release.

Access to ESM extends the LTS release coverage, allowing for continued security fixes for high and critical common vulnerabilities and exposures (CVEs) for the packages in the Ubuntu ‘main’ and ‘restricted’ archives for x86-64, arm64 and s390x architectures. This access permits organizations with workloads running on Ubuntu LTS releases to maintain compliance standards by providing a secure environment before upgrading can occur.

For users who need access to ESM, or have questions about this service, please refer to the questions below. Do not hesitate to get in touch with our team to discuss any additional questions on ESM for Ubuntu 16.04.

How can I access ESM?

You can access ESM with Ubuntu Pro on public cloud platforms, as well as with Ubuntu Advantage. If you are an Ubuntu Advantage customer and need access to the ESM repository, credentials can be found by clicking on the ESM block of your subscription in the Ubuntu Advantage portal. No actions are necessary with Ubuntu Pro to enable ESM.

If you are not a UA Infrastructure customer and need access to ESM, please get in touch with our team to learn more and enable ESM for your Ubuntu 16.04 systems.

Do I need Extended Security Maintenance?

Transitioning to the latest operating system, although important due to performance, hardware enablement as well as new technology enablement benefits, is a complex process for existing deployments. There are multiple deployment strategies and infrastructure options (Canonical Openstack, Charmed Kubernetes or bare-metal), and depending on their usage and the policies in place can reduce specific risks such as downtime during upgrade, but there are certain common challenges.

Typically enterprise solutions combine software from a variety of teams within an organization, in most cases there is an extended supply chain, involving software from 3rd party vendors, who in turn may have their own software vendors. Such complex scenarios result in a dependency on software stacks (e.g., Java, python) that have certain properties in the upgraded system that either got deprecated, replaced or slightly changed behavior in the newer system. The upgrade process in that case becomes a change management process involving risk analysis, stakeholder communication and possibly the upgrade of existing solutions, in addition to the actual operating system upgrade. That is even more challenging if you are in a heavily-regulated industry where the compliance process to meet the regulatory requirements, such as PCI-DSS, SOC2 and GDPR, would result in additional planning and implementation.

In these cases when the operational stability and security patching continuity of the already deployed systems is paramount, Ubuntu ESM reduces the risk of security incidents due to important and critical vulnerabilities. That way, by enrolling your systems onto the ESM lifecycle, you get the necessary time to roll out an upgrade plan, and extending the life of your existing deployments and hardware to the maximum supported by the deployed Ubuntu LTS system.

Additional reasons and industry requirements for ESM include the below:

What is covered by Ubuntu 16.04 ESM?

The Extended Security Maintenance phase of Ubuntu provides security updates including Linux kernel Livepatching for high and critical CVEs (Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures), in the Ubuntu base OS and scale-out infrastructure (Ceph, Openstack, see more detailed information), on the 64-bit x86, arm64 and s390x architectures.

How can I enable Ubuntu 16.04 ESM?

When performing the tasks above in a container, we recommend to remove the subscription credentials from them. This can be done by running ‘ua detach’.

How long will Ubuntu 16.04 ESM be supported?

Ubuntu 16.04 LTS ‘Xenial Xerus’ will be supported until April 2026 through Ubuntu Advantage ESM offer.

Is it time to upgrade?

It is recommended for all users to upgrade to the latest LTS release, Ubuntu 20.04. This release has significantly faster boot times, is built on the 5.4 kernel, supports Secure Boot to protect against low-level attacks and rootkits, applies Kernel Self Protection measures, assures control flow integrity and adds stack-clash protection for systemic forward-looking enterprise security.

There are three easy ways to in-place upgrade your systems –

1. Use the GUI by clicking the Software & Updates icon

2. Via the Release upgrades feature of Landscape, the cloud-management platform for Ubuntu machines

3. Input the below in the command line:

For those using 16.04 who cannot upgrade, or who are planning to upgrade in the near future, it is recommended to subscribe to ESM through the UA Infrastructure to not increase their risk of data compromise incidents due to unpatched vulnerabilities.

Can I use ESM for personal use?

Yes, individuals can access ESM through a free subscription. The free subscription allows for up to 3 machines and up to 50 for Ubuntu community members.

What are the risks without ESM?

Security vulnerabilities that remain unpatched form an attack vector, that results in increased risk for the availability, confidentiality and the integrity of your data, and ultimately a risk with impact on your business continuity plan. Even if you are not operating in a regulated environment such as the finance, healthcare and telco industries, we strongly recommend to consider the available options ranging from upgrading to the latest Ubuntu LTS, to the Extended Maintenance Support to mitigate the risks and operational costs that come from unidentified and unpatched vulnerabilities. Although threats and vulnerabilities change, some risks endure; check our reflections on the vulnerabilities identified and addressed during the Ubuntu 14.04 lifecycle on this post

Extended Security Maintenance (ESM) for Ubuntu 16.04 Xenial Xerus includes security patches for high and critical vulnerabilities for an additional five years of coverage and is available through an Ubuntu Advantage for Infrastructure subscription.

Ubuntu 14.04 LTS has transitioned to ESM support

Canonical

Ubuntu 14.04 LTS ‘Trusty Tahr’ transitioned into the ESM support phase at the end of April 2019, and will no longer be supported for users who do not have access to Extended Security Maintenance (ESM) through Ubuntu Advantage for Infrastructure, Ubuntu Pro for AWS or Ubuntu pro for Azure.

Ubuntu long term support (LTS) releases provide a stable, supported platform for development and production, with five years of guaranteed public maintenance available. Once the public Standard Security Maintenance window comes to a close, Ubuntu LTS releases have an additional three to five years of support (depending upon the release) through ESM.

Access to ESM extends LTS release coverage, allowing for continued security fixes for high and critical common vulnerabilities and exposures (CVEs) for the most commonly used packages in the Ubuntu main archive. This access permits organisations with workloads running on Ubuntu LTS releases to maintain compliance standards by providing a secure environment before upgrading can occur.

For users who need access to ESM, or have questions about this service, please refer to the below FAQs. Do not hesitate to get in touch with our team to discuss any additional questions on ESM for Ubuntu 14.04.

How can I access ESM?

If you are a UA Infrastructure customer and need access to the ESM repository, credentials can be found by clicking ‘My Account’ in the profile section of Canonical’s support portal.

This Knowledge Base article provides the full details on enabling ESM. If ESM credentials have not been provisioned for your account, please request them by opening a support case.

If you are not a UA Infrastructure customer and need access to ESM, please get in touch with our team to learn more and enable ESM for your Ubuntu 14.04 systems.

Why do I need ESM?

If you are in a heavily-regulated industry where continued security certifications or the compliance of infrastructure systems is critical to meet regulatory requirements, it is recommended to utilise ESM to maintain the integrity and stability of those systems.

PCI DSS, SOC 2 and GDPR are three examples of certifications and regulations that mandate security patching across several industry sectors.

Additional reasons and industry requirements for ESM include the below:

In the five years that Trusty Tahr has been released, more than 1,300 Ubuntu Security Notices (USNs) have been issued, with a single USN potentially addressing multiple CVEs. Going forward, USNs will continue to be addressed for UA Infrastructure customers through ESM.

Is it time to upgrade?

It is recommended for all users to upgrade to the latest LTS release, Ubuntu 18.04. This release has significantly faster boot times, is built on the 4.15 kernel, was designed for CI/CD with Kubernetes support built in, has mitigations for Spectre and Meltdown and is tuned for machine learning.

There are three easy ways to upgrade your systems –

For those utilising 14.04 who cannot upgrade, or who are planning to upgrade in the near future, it is recommended to subscribe to ESM through UA Infrastructure for continued access to security patches.

What are the risks without ESM?

Security vulnerabilities that remain unpatched open your infrastructure systems to hackers and the potential of a major breach. Furthermore, security patches are often necessary to meet regulatory requirements commonly found in the finance, healthcare, e-commerce and telco industries.

Subscribing to ESM helps you mitigate the risks, operational costs and potential fines that come from unidentified and unpatched vulnerabilities.

How long will Ubuntu 14.04 LTS be supported through ESM?

Ubuntu 14.04 LTS ‘Trusty Tahr’ will be supported until April 2022 through UA Infrastructure’s ESM service.

Extended Security Maintenance (ESM) for Ubuntu 14.04 Trusty Tahr includes security patches for high and critical vulnerabilities for an additional three years of coverage and is available through an Ubuntu Advantage for Infrastructure subscription.

Extending the Security of Ubuntu 14.04 with ESM Enabled

Extended Security Maintenance is a Canonical service for the Ubuntu desktop and server. Its ethos follows the model of Debian’s Extended Long Term Support, where older repositories of Debian software called packages are maintained by a small pool of professional developers to extend the lifetime of Debian’s release.

Though ESM is an option, it is not a permanent solution, and it should be used to factor in new projects. All new projects should use the latest LTS on the start of development. For example, you wouldn’t want to build an application exclusive to Windows 7 in 2020. ESM provides projects 2 additional years whereas the support window would’ve closed much earlier. This allows projects with long development like various engineering projects.

You will need to enable ESM support for your operating system. This is done through the Ubuntu Advantage service.

If you do not have an account, create one here.

Then install the UA client on your desktop/server.

$ sudo apt update
$ sudo apt install ubuntu-advantage-tools

You can check your account status on Ubuntu 14.04 ESM in the following manner.

Your output would read something like this.

This machine is not attached to a UA subscription.
See https://ubuntu.com/advantage

Now that you see this, you should have to sign into your ua account. Run the following command to attach your account’s token to this computer.

$ sudo ua attach YOUR_TOKEN

Once your machine has been attached to your account, you can enable esm with the following.

$ sudo ua enable esm-infra

You should now see this whenever prompting for status.

Congratulations. You now have ESM enabled for your 14.04 ESM device. Learn more about ESM here. Follow me for more articles on Linux security and Ubuntu development topics.
