In reply to Ryan.

Hi Ryan,

Thank you for your kind comments. I am very glad that you found this post useful. I am personally working with MITRE to enhance the OVAL language to support other network devices and security products such as the Cisco ASA and IOS XE. We have created new schemas for ASA and they are currently available in MITRE’s sandbox at:

https://github.com/OVALProject/Sandbox

The goal is for the new version of the OVAL language to support Cisco ASA software. This will allow us to create OVAL content for Cisco ASA in the future. Unfortunately, only Cisco IOS Software is currently supported in OVAL.

Regarding tools available on cisco.com; the only tool available is the Cisco IOS Software Checker tool at:
http://tools.cisco.com/security/center/selectIOSVersion.x

You can use the Cisco IOS Software Checker tool to search for Cisco Security Advisories that address specific Cisco IOS Software releases. Simply select a release from the drop-down menu, paste in show version command output, or upload a file from your local system.

Hope this help and thank you for your comments and the active discussion!
