Do :
version = get_kb_item("Host/OS");
and make your plugin dependant on nmap_wrapper.nes and/or queso.nes

If it's a non-windows patch, there's no easy solution to do that
(besides giving the root password to a script and let it connect to the
remote host via ssh/bash, but no script does that).
If you're talking about a Windows patch, you can dig thru the remote
registry (provided you give nessus the proper credentials) - see the
smb_nt_XXXXX.nasl plugins for examples.
