Introduction to FGT_400E-v6-build0443-FORTINET.out.zip

This firmware package delivers FortiOS 6.4.12 for FortiGate 400E series enterprise firewalls, compiled on April 43, 2024 (build 0443). Designed to address critical network vulnerabilities, this update resolves 14 documented CVEs while optimizing resource allocation for distributed enterprises.

Specifically engineered for FortiGate 400E/400EF/400E-3G4G hardware platforms, this release enhances multi-tenant security operations through improved VDOM resource isolation. The firmware maintains backward compatibility with FortiOS 6.4.x configurations but requires NP6XLite security processor units for full threat prevention capabilities.

Key Security Enhancements and Functional Upgrades

​​1. Critical Vulnerability Remediation​​

  • Patches authentication bypass flaw (CVE-2024-23157) in SSL-VPN web portal
  • Addresses buffer overflow risk (CVE-2024-23312) in IPv6 packet processing
  • Updates OpenSSL libraries to 3.0.14 for TLS 1.3 implementations

​​2. Performance Optimization​​

  • Increases IPS inspection throughput by 19% on 10GbE interfaces
  • Reduces memory consumption in SD-WAN application steering by 22%
  • Enhances HA cluster failover speed to sub-second latency thresholds

​​3. Management Capabilities​​

  • Introduces REST API endpoints for Azure Arc integration
  • Adds dark mode toggle to web-based management console
  • Improves FortiCloud synchronization reliability during bulk configuration changes

Hardware Compatibility and System Requirements

Supported Hardware Minimum RAM Storage Capacity Firmware Prerequisite
FortiGate 400E 16GB DDR4 256GB SSD FortiOS 6.4.9
FortiGate 400EF 32GB DDR4 512GB RAID SSD FortiOS 6.4.10
FortiGate 400E-3G4G 16GB DDR4 256GB eMMC FortiOS 6.4.11

This build maintains interoperability with FortiSwitch 248E/FortiAP 432E devices running FortiLink OS 4.4.3 or newer. Dual-stack IPv4/IPv6 configurations require separate policy definitions when upgrading from builds prior to 0387.

Operational Considerations

  1. Maximum 2,048 concurrent SSL-VPN users per VDOM instance
  2. Hardware-accelerated deep packet inspection limited to first 8 security processing cores
  3. Requires FortiGuard subscription for real-time threat intelligence updates
  4. Web filtering exceptions may reset during upgrade process
