Parser to generate affected package lists from CVEs, by checking the CentOS announce mailing lists
This tool was created so that requests from security (Nessus scan results) could be easily translated into package lists without having to manually reference the CentOS mailings lists. Simply plug in an advisory and annparse will provide you a list of packages referenced in the advisory.
Run annparse --help
for a complete list of syntax options.
Pass an advisory using the -a flag, and optionally -c to query the CR advisory list.
$ ./annparse -c -a CESA-2020:4076

annparse can also be run in --offline mode if using a local cache, so as not to spam the CentOS mailing list servers.
A local cache is provided in the cache folder, or periodically as part of releases.
