Juniper Identity Management Service (JIMS) for Windows versions prior to 1.1.4 may send an incorrect message to associated SRX services gateways. This may allow an attacker with physical access to an existing domain connected Windows system to bypass SRX firewall policies, or trigger a Denial of Service (DoS) condition for the network.
This issue applicable only when the Windows Domain Controller's policy is set to audit account logon failures and SRX has any security policies configured with the term "match source-identity authenticated-user".
Juniper SIRT is not aware of any malicious exploitation of this vulnerability.
If the issue is being exploited to bypass SRX firewall policies, suspicious or unusual usernames or IP addresses entries may be present in the SRX auth table.
This issue was found during internal product security testing or research.
