Open Vulnerability and Assessment Language
Open Vulnerability and Assessment Language (
OVAL) is an international, information security, community standard to promote open and publicly available security content, and to standardize the transfer of this information across the entire spectrum of security tools and services. OVAL includes a language used to encode system details, and an assortment of content repositories held throughout the community. The language standardizes the three main steps of the assessment process:
- representing configuration information of systems for testing;
- analyzing the system for the presence of the specified machine state (vulnerability, configuration, patch state, etc.); and
- reporting the results of this assessment.
The repositories are collections of publicly available and open content that utilize the language.
Oval
An
oval (from Latin
ovum, "egg") is a
closed curve in a
plane which "loosely" resembles the outline of an
egg. The term is not very specific, but in some areas (
projective geometry,
technical drawing, etc.) it is given a more precise definition, which may include either one or two axes of symmetry. In common English, the term is used in a broader sense: any shape which
reminds one of an egg.

About
Root-Race First
Root-Race, First of the fourth round on globe D of our earth, composed of emanations of the lunar pitris produced by the processes of chhaya-birth -- the ethereal lunar pitris emanated their own "shadows" or vehicles, as colossal ovoid bodies of tenuous astral substance, to us translucent, and having but rudiments or type of color. They were spiritual and ethereal within, and more condensedly ethereal outwardly, as yet possessing latent but not active intelligence, and therefore as yet having no speech; composed of all the elements, but as yet having no living intellectual fire manifest. Their habitat was the "Imperishable Sacred Land" around the region of the north pole, where they first appeared in seven more or less distinct but overlapping localities. Their method of reproduction in the earlier periods was by one form melting into its progeny. Later the race reproduced itself by fission; in all these cases there was no death to individuals, because the individuals became their own descendants, as is exemplified in certain elementary forms of life today. This race inhabited the globe when there was more water than land on the earth, and its destruction was by fire.
