Bug#942670: security-tracker: Fetching additional NVD feed information needs to switch to JSON feeds
Package: security-tracker
Severity: normal
As per 16th of october the NVD XML data feeds is disabled[1]. The
security-tracker uses this feed to daily get additional information on
CVEs (e.g. description).
The update-nvd and the used parser lib/python/nvd.py needs to be
switched to get and parse the JSON feeds[2].
