About:
Advchk is a tool for monitoring the security of installed software. 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. Since adding software lists by hand would be quite a boring task, advchk leverages your system's package manager for detecting software. Software installed on remote systems can be monitored through nmap scans or by executing the remote package manager as an SSH ForcedCommand using Public-key authentication.
