I don't know... the branch we're using is called 'legacy-tool' and is quite
different from master (which isn't usable).

Yes, the problem is indeed that cve-check-update is not found when
do_populate_cve_db() is run. In addition to that curl-native is currently
broken by recipe-specific sysroots as well (CA certificates are looked for
in the wrong place) and this makes all downloads in cve-check-tool fail.

TL;DR: working on it.
