Go back to News

MariaDB 10.4 is reaching end of support June 18, 2024, impacting Adobe Commerce customers using 2.4.4 and 2.4.5. Learn how to upgrade your customers to a supported version.

Adobe Commerce 2.4.4 and 2.4.5 use a version of MariaDB (10.4) that is scheduled to reach end of support on June 18, 2024. To help your customers prepare for this event, Adobe is releasing two patches, Adobe Commerce 2.4.4-p9 and 2.4.5-p8, on June 11, 2024. These patches enable compatibility with MariaDB 10.5 so customers can move to a supported version. It is important to upgrade to remain PCI compliant and to reduce exposure to security risks.

Please help your customers to install these patches and upgrade to MariaDB 10.5 starting on June 11, 2024. More information on the upgrade process for Cloud customers is available on Experience League.
