File Attribute Type

[wmunyan]

Added allowable empty string enumeration value for Entity(State|Item)FileAttributeType, per standard for other OVAL enumeration types.

[solind]

Good catch. Was there an issue associated with this?

[wmunyan]

@solind it was something we came across in our testing. The OVAL results added an empty element with a status of "does not exist" and it failed schema validation. Temporary workaround is to just not add the element to the file_item, since its a 0..unbounded, but wanted to keep consistency with other enums.

LGTM.

[solind]

This is a good change because we need the state to be able to potentially accommodate a variable value. However, I don't think it's actually possible for a Windows file to have no attributes, as in that case it should have FILE_ATTRIBUTE_NORMAL, which is defined as:

"A file that does not have other attributes set. This attribute is valid only when used alone."

This also needs to be closed and changed into a pull request to merge into the develop branch.
