CVE Binary Tool 1.0
This release includes major improvements to the way NVD data is used and
stored. If you have tried the development tree from Github, you may wish
to run cve-bin-tool -u now after you upgrade to remove old data.
There are now three output formats:
- Console (like before only prettier)
- CSV (comma-delimted text, suitable for import into spreadsheets)
- JSON (suitable for machine parsing)
And 17 new checkers (as well as improved tests for some of the old):
- binutils
- bluez
- bzip2
- ffmpeg
- gnutls
- gstreamer
- hostapd
- libcurl
- libdb
- ncurses
- ngnix
- openssh
- python
- rsyslog
- strongswan
- syslogng
- varnish

improve our onboarding process and just brought a huge amount of energy to
this project in 2020.
