This is an overview for a typical web stack: a Linux server, Apache or nginx, PHP and Bitrix, a database, a cache, Node.js and Python for supporting tasks, GitLab and Docker for delivery, plus the workstations of developers and managers. The data was collected on 31 October 2026. Versions change every week, so it is worth opening the source again before an upgrade.

The tables do not replace a check of a specific server. They help you see quickly where you are: on a supported branch, on a branch that is nearing its end date, or already past it.

Supported branches and latest releases

This overview is refreshed automatically from endoflife.date. It lists supported branches with the latest release in each; a few end-of-life branches are kept where they are still common on servers.

The data has not been refreshed for more than two days. Check the source before making a decision.

How to read version numbers

Most products have a branch and a release. The branch, for example PHP 8.4, defines the support period. The release, for example 8.4.27, contains specific fixes. While a branch is supported, it makes sense to run its latest release: an old 8.4.0 does not receive fixes just because the 8.4 branch is still alive.

On RPM-based distributions — RHEL, Rocky Linux, AlmaLinux and CentOS Stream — the package version is often lower than the upstream one. This is normal: the OS vendor backports security fixes into its own build without changing the main version number. On these systems, look for the fix in the package changelog rather than at the number:

dnf updateinfo list security
rpm -q --changelog php-cli | grep CVE-2026

Debian and Ubuntu follow the same principle; apt list --upgradable shows the available updates.

What matters in October 2026

Three urgent updates came out within two weeks. If any of these products is exposed to the internet, they are worth installing first.

  • PHP. Versions 8.5.12, 8.4.27, 8.3.36 and 8.2.35 were released on 21 October. They fix CVE-2026-109618 and CVE-2026-109619, which allow code execution on the server without authentication. According to the PHP Foundation, remote code execution was demonstrated on Apache with mod_php using default settings. The fixed releases are listed in the PHP changelog and in the CERT-EU advisory.
  • Node.js. Versions 22.23.4, 24.22.1 and 26.12.1 were released on 21 October with fixes for ten vulnerabilities. The most serious, CVE-2026-111497, concerns Brotli decompression and can lead to code execution (Node.js). Versions 24.22.2 and 26.13.0 followed on 28 October; with that release the 26 line became LTS (Node.js blog).
  • GitLab. Versions 19.5.1, 19.4.3, 19.3.6 and releases for older branches came out on 21 October. They fix 12 vulnerabilities, including the critical CVE-2026-110264: code execution without authentication (GitLab). Versions 19.5.3, 19.4.5 and 19.3.7 followed with one more security fix (GitLab).

If you cannot update right away, you can temporarily restrict outside access to the service and schedule the update for the nearest maintenance window.

Server operating systems

OS Current release Supported until Note
Rocky Linux 9 9.8 31.05.2032 A good choice for new servers and for moving off CentOS 7
Rocky Linux 10 10.2 31.05.2035 For new projects once the stack has been tested on EL10
AlmaLinux 9 / 10 9.8 / 10.2 31.05.2032 / 31.05.2035 A compatible alternative to Rocky Linux
RHEL 9 / 10 9.8 / 10.2 31.05.2032 / 31.05.2035 Commercial support from Red Hat
CentOS Stream 9 — 31.05.2027 Still updated, but the period is shorter; plan the move in advance
CentOS Stream 10 — 31.05.2030 An upstream branch of RHEL, not an exact copy of a release
CentOS 7 7 (2009) 30.06.2024 Support has ended, no security fixes
Debian 13 13.7 regular — 09.08.2028, LTS — 30.06.2030
Debian 12 12.15 regular support ended, LTS — 30.06.2028
Ubuntu 26.04 LTS 26.04.1 29.05.2031
Ubuntu 24.04 LTS 24.04.5 31.05.2029
Ubuntu 22.04 LTS 22.04 01.06.2027 Time to plan the move

If a server still runs CentOS 7, the calm way forward is to set up a new server on Rocky Linux 9 or AlmaLinux 9 next to it, move the project and test it before switching over. An in-place upgrade across several generations is usually slower and riskier.

Web servers and languages

Product Supported versions Note
Apache HTTP Server 2.4.69 2.4 is the only supported branch
nginx 1.30.6 stable, 1.31.8 mainline Stable is the more common choice for production
PHP 8.5.12, 8.4.27, 8.3.36, 8.2.35 8.2 gets fixes until 31.12.2026, 8.3 until 31.12.2027, 8.4 until 31.12.2028, 8.5 until 31.12.2029
Node.js 26.13.0 LTS, 24.22.2 LTS, 22.23.4 LTS 22 until 30.04.2027, 24 until 30.04.2028, 26 until 30.04.2029
Python 3.15.2, 3.14.10, 3.13.18, 3.12.16, 3.11.18 3.10 reached end of life on 01.10.2026; 3.11 is supported until 31.10.2027
Composer 2.10.3 The 2.9 branch is no longer supported
OpenSSL 3.5.9 LTS, 4.0.3, 4.1.0 3.5 until 08.04.2030; support for 3.6 ends on 01.11.2026
OpenSSH 10.6 Operating systems usually ship a vendor build with backported fixes

Choosing a PHP branch and preparing the move are covered in more detail in the article on PHP versions.

Product Supported versions Note
MySQL 8.4.13 LTS, 9.7.4 LTS, 26.10.0 8.4 until 30.04.2032, 9.7 until 30.04.2034; the 8.0 branch reached end of life on 30.04.2026
MariaDB 10.11.19, 11.4.13, 11.8.9, 12.3.3 LTS 10.11 until 16.02.2028, 11.4 until 29.05.2029; the 10.6 branch reached end of life on 06.07.2026
PostgreSQL 18.6, 17.11, 16.15, 15.19, 14.24 Support for 14 ends on 12.11.2026
Redis 8.10.3, 8.8.4, 8.6.8, 8.4.8, 8.2.11 Branches 7.2 and 7.4 get fixes until 01.12.2029
Valkey 9.1.3, 9.0.7, 8.1.11, 8.0.12 An open-source alternative to Redis
Memcached 1.6.45
OpenSearch 3.9.0, 2.19.7
Elasticsearch 9.5.5, 9.4.8, 8.19.23 8.19 until 15.07.2027

If a project runs on MySQL 8.0, the clearest next step is 8.4 LTS. Before the move, check how database users authenticate: in 8.4 the legacy mysql_native_password is disabled by default.

Bitrix

  • Since 1 February 2026 the minimum PHP version for 1C-Bitrix products is 8.2, and 8.4 or later is recommended (server requirements, in Russian).
  • The MySQL requirement is 8.0 or later (technical requirements, in Russian). As 8.0 is no longer supported upstream, 8.4 is a sensible target.
  • The current virtual machine branch is BitrixVM 9; the latest release in its history is 9.0.10 from March 2026 (hosting course, in Russian). It installs on version 9 of Rocky Linux, AlmaLinux, CentOS Stream or Oracle Linux.

After an urgent PHP release, check that the fixed build is already available in your environment's repository. If it is not there yet, restrict outside access to the server and keep an eye on the update.

Development, delivery and automation

Product Current version Note
Git 2.56.0
GitLab CE 19.5.3, 19.4.5, 19.3.7 The three latest branches are supported; 19.3 until 19.11.2026
GitLab Runner 19.5.1 Updated together with GitLab
Docker Engine 29.9.2 The 28 branch is no longer supported
Docker Compose 5.6.1
n8n 2.45.7 (stable) The 2.46 branch is still in beta

For CI images it is worth not only updating GitLab itself but also rebuilding job images: they may still contain old versions of system packages.

Workstations

A workstation has more software than a server, and it is updated more often. Automatic updates and a short regular check work best here.

OS or application Current version Note
Windows 11 25H2, 26H2 For Home and Pro: 25H2 until 12.10.2027, 26H2 until 10.10.2028; support for 24H2 ended on 13.10.2026
Windows 10 22H2 Regular support ended on 14.10.2025; with ESU, fixes continue until 12.10.2027 (Microsoft)
macOS 27.2, 26.7.2, 15.8.2 macOS 14 stopped receiving updates in September 2026
Google Chrome 157 Updates automatically; restarting the browser applies the update
Mozilla Firefox 159.0, ESR 153.6.0 ESR suits places that need infrequent, predictable updates
PowerShell 7.6.9 7.6 until 14.11.2028; 7.4 and 7.5 until 10.11.2026
PhpStorm 2026.2.4
Visual Studio Code 1.144.0
Docker Desktop 4.97.0
Git for Windows 2.56.0.windows.4
WinSCP 6.7 Uses OpenSSL 3.5.9
PuTTY 0.85
7-Zip 26.05

A few calm habits that save time:

  • Connect to servers over SFTP or SSH rather than FTP. FTP sends the password and the files in clear text, and modern clients, including PhpStorm and WinSCP, work with SFTP without extra setup.
  • Check the list of updates once a week. On Windows this is winget upgrade, on macOS softwareupdate -l, on Linux the distribution's package manager.
  • Keep SSH keys protected with a passphrase and avoid copying them between machines unless necessary.

Keeping the list in order

  1. Make an inventory. For each server and workstation, write down the OS, the key applications and their versions. A table that the team updates along with changes is enough.
  2. Note the dates. Next to each branch, write its end-of-support date. A move is easier to plan six months ahead than to carry out in a week.
  3. Separate the updates. Fixes within a branch are installed regularly and quickly. Moving to a new branch is separate work with a compatibility check.
  4. Test before release. A test copy, a backup and a rollback plan make an update calm.
  5. Watch for urgent releases. The mailing lists and RSS feeds of the projects you use announce them earlier than the news.
