OVAL

Detailed Description

Open Vulnerability and Assessment Language.

This layer covers interface to OVAL language. It provides easier way for manipulation with OVAL Definition, OVAL System Characteristics and OVAL Result content. Content can be imported from XML file adjusted and exported back to the file. Besides this basic functionality, it also enables user to use system checking mechanism. This mechanism probe the OS and gather OVAL System characteristics that can be later used to create OVAL Results.

Supported version: 5.10.1 and lower

OVAL Definition supported schemas:

OVAL System Characteristics supported schemas:

OVAL Results supported schemas:
