NAME

6       pullcves  - Update the local cvechecker CVE database and version match‐
7       ing rules
8

SYNOPSIS

10       pullcves pull or
11       pullcves cleancache
12

DESCRIPTION

14       The pullcves script will download the CVE entries from the Internet and
15       store them in the local cvechecker databases. It will also download the
16       latest version matching rules from the Internet and load them up in the
17       cvechecker  database. It uses the wget tool for the downloads and xslt‐
18       proc for the XML conversions.
19
20       If cleancache is used, it will clean its internal cache. This will  ef‐
21       fectively  remove the downloaded XML (and generated CSV) files, causing
22       the next pull to redownload and reimport everything.
23
24       The pullcves script uses the configuration file of cvechecker  for  the
25       paths  of  the  various  locations  using  the same logic (if CVECHECK‐
26       ER_CONFFILE is set as environment variable, then it has to point  to  a
27       valid  configuration  file;  if the environment variable is not set, it
28       ties     ~/.cvechecker.rc,      /usr/local/etc/cvechecker.conf      and
29       /etc/cvechecker.conf in that order).

USAGE

32       The command is simply pullcves pull or pullcves cleancache.

34   RETURN CODES
35       The returncode of pullcves depends on the actions it performed.
36
37       In case of pull:
38
39       · A  returncode  of  0 means that the CVE database and version matching
40         rules were already up to date
41
42       · A returncode of 1 means that the CVE database is updated
43
44       · A returncode of 2 means that the version matching rules are updated
45
46       · A returncode of 3 means that both the CVE database and version match‐
47         ing rules are updated
