Today i finished most work on adaptation OVAL interpretator for work in Debian. Today i update OVAL definitions generator (tests generation) and now generated definitions looks proper (i have some valid OVAl alerts for unpatched packages on my machine).
<br><br> Current problems:<br>1. I need more information about architecture mappings on various architectures. I use uname information about host architecture and make conversion from i686 to i386 (but i don't have an information from other architectures).
<br>2. Latest dsa in Debian repository: 1329, 1333, 1334 contain <h3>Debian GNU/Linux 4.0 alias etch</h3><br clear="all"><br> Tomorrow i start packaging OVAL interpretator, prepare patches for Mitre, and write proposal about OVAl agent-server architecture. And as background for this - testing, testing, testing and bugfixing.
