Description dbodnarc 2023-06-15 14:08:07 UTC

Description of problem:
It would be handy to have a dedicated web page or a KB article with the list of the kernel versions supported for live patching along with their release and support dates for different subscriptions.

According to https://access.redhat.com/solutions/2206511:
\\\
Live kernel patches for CVEs that occur between minor kernel releases are available with standard subscriptions. Customers who purchase Extended Update Support (EUS) will be able to use live patching for the entire EUS support window: 2 years for EUS subscriptions and 4 years for Update Services for SAP Solutions Add-on. Each kernel errata stops receiving live kernel patches 6 months after the kernel errata was released.
///

The resulting page may look like:

RHEL Version | kernel version | release date |   Live kernel patches are supported until  |
             |                |              | for Standard   | for EUS     | for EUS SAP |
