Solution
How often does Juniper update a Deep Inspection attack database for ScreenOS?
For ScreenOS 5.3.0r4 and below, an attack database update will be done based on Juniper Security team's need. It is limited, because ScreenOS 5.3.0r5 uses a different mechanism to create attack signatures (e.g., new protocol decoders and new contexts), and the new signatures are not compatible with ScreenOS 5.3.0r4 and below.
For ScreenOS 5.3.0r5 and above, an attack database update will be done daily.
IMPORTANT: In order to get the latest attack database, Juniper recommends upgrading to ScreenOS 5.3.0r5 or above.
To check the version of the latest attack database, go to the J-Security Center http://www.juniper.net/security . The 'Latest Attack Object Updates' are posted in the left-hand column.
When will Juniper stop the support of Deep Inspection attack database updates for ScreenOS?
Juniper follows the ScreenOS Software End of Life (EOL) policy. The EOL dates for ScreenOS are posted at http://www.juniper.net/support/eol/screenos.html.
