Description:

Ruby/ICAT provides a rudimentary interface to NIST's ICAT metabase. The ICAT metabase is a CVE-based vulnerability database. It is provided in a tab-delimited format which Ruby/ICAT parses and makes available in a linear format.

Included in the examples is a simple script which will check any package list (redhat, debian, etc) for matches in the ICAT vulnerability metabase. This is useful in keeping your systems up-to-date.

This was hacked together quickly. Any and all feedback is welcome!
