CVE coverage
AlmaLinux 8 CVE tracker
Noxen pulls AlmaLinux 8 CVE data from the same upstream sources Red Hat publishes against (RHEL 8 binary-compatible). NVD provides the upstream advisory; OSV's Red Hat ecosystem feed provides the rpm-level fix versions. AlmaLinux 8 has active maintenance through May 2029, so security errata land on the same cadence as RHEL 8.

How matching works
What Noxen does for an AlmaLinux 8 host
- Reads
/etc/os-releaseto confirm AlmaLinux 8 (RHEL 9 binary-compatible). - Reads
rpm -qafor installed packages, including epoch and release. - Filters the local feed cache to OSV records tagged with ecosystem
AlmaLinux:8 / Red Hat:8, plus NVD records whose CPE matches the installed packages. - Compares installed vs fix versions using rpm version semantics (epoch:version-release).
- Emits findings only where the installed version is strictly older than the fix.

FAQ
Frequently asked about AlmaLinux 8 CVEs
Is AlmaLinux 8 still supported in 2026?
Yes - AlmaLinux 8 tracks RHEL 8's active maintenance phase through May 2029. Security errata continue to land for the full window; the project also publishes its own errata stream cross-referenced with Red Hat's.
How is AlmaLinux 8 different from AlmaLinux 9 for CVE tracking?
Different package version sets, different backport lines. The same upstream CVE typically has separate fix versions in the RHEL 8 channel and the RHEL 9 channel. Noxen reads rpm -qa and /etc/os-release to pick the right ecosystem filter automatically.
How do I check AlmaLinux 8 CVEs on a host?
For a quick check: dnf updateinfo list security. For per-CVE detail with fix versions, Noxen reads rpm package state over SSH and matches against the live ecosystem feed using rpm version semantics (epoch:version-release).
Will Noxen flag a CVE that AlmaLinux 8 has already backported a fix for?
No. Red Hat-family distros backport security fixes without changing the upstream version number - the fix shows up as a higher release field (the part after the dash in epoch:version-release). Noxen compares the installed epoch:version-release against the fixed package version using rpm version semantics, so a host that has applied the backported errata is correctly shown as patched rather than as a false positive.
Which AlmaLinux 8 CVEs should I patch first?
Severity alone is a poor sort key. Noxen ranks findings by exposure first - a high-severity CVE in a package behind an internet-facing service outranks a critical one in a library nothing reaches - then by CVSS and EPSS. The EPSS prioritisation guide walks through the reasoning.
