Hello all.

Can anyone advise on scanning Oracle Linux vulnerabilities?
The Community feed seems to omit checks for errata published post 2016.

e.g. https://linux.oracle.com/errata/ELSA-2018-0395.html was not
reported despite kernel-uek 4.1.12-61.1.18 being run and
kernel-3.10.0-514 being installed (both built 04 Nov 2016).

Equivalent vulnerability in CentOS/RHEL-compatible kernel was positively
identified when run against CentOS system:
https://lists.centos.org/pipermail/centos-announce/2018-May/022843.html
CentOS Update for kernel CESA-2018:1629 centos7
OID 1.3.6.1.4.1.25623.1.0.882885

Vulnerabilities are actually found - just nothing new.
Supported by the following found on a recent kali linux install:

root@kali:/var/lib/openvas/plugins#


vulners.com has different looking pages for Oracle Linux vulnerabilities
before and after the apparent cutoff - e.g.
https://vulners.com/openvas/OPENVAS:1361412562310122925
and
https://vulners.com/oraclelinux/ELSA-2016-3559

Should I be using a different tool or approach?

Thanks in advance,
Ewae.
