ovaldi - The reference interpreter for the Open Vulnerability and Assessment Language

Description:

The OVAL Interpreter is a freely available reference
implementation created to show how information can be
collected from a computer for testing, to evaluate and
carry out the OVAL definitions for that platform, and to
report the results of the tests.

MITRE developed the OVAL Interpreter to demonstrate the
usability of OVAL definitions, and for definition writers
to use to ensure correct syntax and adherence to the OVAL
Language during the development of draft definitions. It is
not a fully functional scanning tool and has a simplistic user
interface, but running the Interpreter will provide you with
a list of true/false results and their references (e.g., CVE names)
for all input OVAL definitions.

MITRE offers the Interpreter, source code, schemas, and data files
at no cost to further the OVAL effort and in hopes that individuals
and organizations will build and expand upon them. If you are
interested in contributing to the OVAL Interpreter please send an
email to oval@mitre.org.
