I wrote (and still maintain) a package called cvechecker (http://cvechecker.sourceforge.net) whose purpose is to scan the system for installed software (or you use a simple file that tells the application what is installed so systemwide scans aren't needed then anymore) and pull in information from NVD about CVE entries. It then matches the CVE entries with the detected software/versions on your system and report which ones might be affected by a known vulnerability.
This looks really interesting. As an admin in a larger installation, I must evaluate the impact of possible security problems on our infrastructure by myself anyway. This tool could give a good basis in form of early warnings.
Has anyone already written an ebuild? Regards Christian -- Dipl.-Inf.
