cvechecker是一款linux下的主机安全检测工具，它通过扫描系统上已经安装的软件和匹配CVE数据库中的结果给出关于系统上可能存在的安全漏洞的报告。目前，cvechecker更新至3.1版，2.0版的一些介绍参见：http://www.pulog.org/tools/1448/cvechecker-0.2/，3.1包含的工具如下：

• libxslt – needed for the XSLT transformations (the online CVE database exists of XML files and we need to convert those to CSV so that we can easily import it into our own, local database)
• libconfig – a C library that offers a simple way for applications to read and handle configuration files
• sqlite3 – a local, embedded yet powerful database (for the time being, cvechecker only supports sqlite3, but in the future additional databases will be supported)
• wget – a command-line tool to fetch online resources
