The goal of cvechecker is to report about possible vulnerabilities on your system, by scanning a list of installed software and matching results with the CVE database. This is not a bullet-proof method and you will have many false positives (ie: vulnerability is fixed with a revision-release, but the tool isn't able to detect the revision itself), yet it is still better than nothing, especially if you are running a distribution with little security coverage.

Gather installed software (exclude non software paths like logfiles or windows mounts…)

find / -path /var/spool/icinga2/perfdata -prune -o -path /backup -prune -o -path /marktplatz -prune -o -path /mnt -prune -o -path /media -prune -o -type f -perm -o+x > scanlist.txt
echo "/proc/version" >> scanlist.txt

Import installed software into CVEChecker

cvechecker -b scanlist.txt

Match software with CVEs

cvechecker -r -C > CVEs.csv
