Arch Linux CVE tools

Arch Linux CVE Wiki Page Parser

The tiny script named ArchCVEToJSON.py parses the Arch Linux Wiki CVE page to a more usable JSON format.

Arch Linux Security Advisories Generator

Based on the JSON output of ArchCVEToJSON.py, JSONToASA.py generates the template of the Security Advisory for a specific vulnerability.

Usage is:

JSONToASA.py <JSON database file> <package> <CVE number>|<fixed version> <ASA identifier> <vulnerabilty type>

For example, to generate the template for the ASA ASA-201603-15, for a denial of service vulnerability fixed in the 2.0.2-1 version of the package named wireshark-cli:

$ python ArchCVEToJSON.py > CVEs.json
$ python JSONToASA.py CVEs.json wireshark-cli 2.0.2-1 ASA-201603-15 "denial of service"
