pkg/DESCR Advchk (Advisory Check) reads security advisories so you don't have to. Advisory Check gathers security advisories using RSS / RDF / XML feeds, compares them against a list of known software, and alerts you if you`re vulnerable. Software installed on remote systems can be monitored using SSH-Update. SSH-Update retrieves package lists by executing the remote package manager as an SSH ForcedCommand using Public-key authentication. Quite a few CERTs and vendors offer security-relevant feeds. Mailing lists can be monitored using feeds provided by some web archives. Some usenet gateways like Google Groups also offer RSS subscriptions.
I did not play a lot with it but it seems to work fine here. Feel free to play with it and report here. Thanks! -- Antoine
