After some cursory searching, and having used a few distributions for a
few years, I haven't found any software vulnerability auditing software
for any Linux distribution equivalent to FreeBSD's portaudit or NetBSD's
audit-packages. In fact, FreeBSD seems to have two such tools, as it can
claim vxquery in addition to portaudit, and I have yet to find even one
such tool for any Linux distribution. Have I missed something obvious?
Is there such a tool for any Linux distribution out there?
Failing that -- is there at least something like the vuxml RSS feeds [1]
for FreeBSD and OpenBSD, but for Linux distributions instead?
If no comparable vulnerability auditing tools exist for any Linux
distributions, this seems like a pretty significant oversight.
