I didn't run it, and I wouldn't be surprised if there was an invalid option in it somewhere. Ansible Lightspeed would be a better tool than what I used, but it's sufficient to get the point across.
I rely on notifications from glsa-check or my distro's package manager. I was notified about a problem with xz-utils on Thursday evening, but didn't see anyone post about it until Friday morning.
glsa-check is a command-line tool included with the gentoolkit package in Gentoo Linux. Its primary function is to scan your system for installed packages that are vulnerable according to Gentoo Linux Security Advisories (GLSAs). GLSAs are official notifications from the Gentoo security team about security vulnerabilities that affect packages in the Gentoo repository.
