That's different of what I'm proposing since OVAL tries to do local security checks to determine if the system is vulnerable. That's more like what Tiger does (not just check for updates). Also OVAL is currently a "work in process" and there's still a lot of work to do to create OVAL checks for all known (CVE-defined) vulnerabilities. Javi
