Running an end-of-life MySQL version?
OSSeva keeps end-of-life MySQL patched with signed builds and backported CVE fixes, documents it for your auditor, and can run it for you, so the upgrade happens on your schedule rather than the project’s.
MySQL extended supportMySQL end of life: common questions
What is the latest MySQL version?
9.7.2, released 28 Jul 2026, on the 9.7 (LTS) line. Other supported lines: 8.4.
When is the next MySQL end of life?
MySQL 8.4 reaches the end of extended support on 30 Apr 2032. After that date the project stops shipping security fixes for 8.4, and CVEs disclosed later stay unpatched upstream.
Which MySQL versions are still supported?
9.7 (until 30 Apr 2034) and 8.4 (until 30 Apr 2032). Every other line has reached end of life, per the dates in the table above.
Can I get security patches for an end-of-life MySQL version?
Yes. OSSeva ships signed builds with backported CVE fixes for MySQL 8.0 and 5.7 after upstream support ends, on the Patch, Assure and Operate tiers, so you can stay on the version you run while you plan the upgrade.
