The Juniper Networks SRX Series Gateway IDPS must automatically install updates to signature definitions.
Vulnerability discussion
Failing to automatically update malicious code protection mechanisms, including application software files, signature definitions, and vendor-provided rules, leaves the system vulnerable to exploitation by recently developed attack methods and programs. An automatic update process ensures this important task is performed without the need for Security Control Auditor (SCA) intervention.The IDPS is a key malicious code protection mechanism in the enclave infrastructure. To ensure this protection is responsive to changes in malicious code threats, IDPS components must be automatically updated, including anti-virus signatures, detection heuristics, vendor-provided rules, and vendor-provided signatures.If a DoD patch management server or update repository having the tested/verified updates is available for the IDPS component, the components must be configured to automatically check this server/site for updates and install new updates. If a DoD server/site is not available, the component must be configured to automatically check a trusted vendor site for updates. A trusted vendor is either commonly used by DoD, specifically approved by DoD, the vendor from which the equipment was purchased, or approved by the local program's CCB.

The following example configures automatic updates of the IDP signature database:
Specify the URL to use.
[edit]
set security idp security-package url
Create a schedule for the automatic downloads.
set security idp security-package automatic interval
set security idp security-package automatic enable
Also, recommend a local log be created to track when automated updates are performed for troubleshooting purposes.
set system syslog file IDP_OPERATIONS any any match IDP_SCHEDULE
Pro Tips
Lavender hyperlinks in small type off to the right (of CSS
class id, if you view the page source) point to
globally unique URIs for each document and item. Copy the
link location and paste anywhere you need to talk
unambiguously about these things.
You can obtain data about documents and items in other
formats. Simply provide an HTTP header Accept:
text/turtle or
Accept: application/rdf+xml.
