Debian/Ubuntu changelog??
So I wrote a thorough checkmk local check script to report on patch state, and we were able to then pull reports straight out of our monitoring system. You can see a lobotomised version of said script here. When it came time for me to apply the same work to Debian/Ubuntu, I found that ecosystem to be somewhat brutally lacking compared to the RHEL world. You can see in that script that I mention debsecan, and for Ubuntu you'd need to pair it with ust2dsa. What I don't clearly mention in that script, though I hinted at it, is that I was exploring a way to parse Ubuntu's security JSON feeds... and it looks like Canonical started doing that themselves with their in-house cvescan tool. There's also the debcvescan tool for the Debian world.
