Introduction to FGT_3815D-v6-build0443-FORTINET.out Software

This firmware package (FGT_3815D-v6-build0443-FORTINET.out) delivers critical security enhancements and performance optimizations for Fortinet’s flagship FortiGate 3800D series appliances. Designed for enterprise-grade network security operations, it addresses 18 CVEs identified in previous FortiOS 6.4.x versions while introducing hardware-specific optimizations for the NP7 network processor.

Compatible exclusively with FortiGate 3815D/3805D hardware models running FortiOS v6.4.15+, this Q2 2025 release focuses on mitigating zero-day vulnerabilities in SSL-VPN and improving threat detection latency by 22% through ASIC-accelerated AI analysis.

Key Features and Improvements

  1. ​​Critical Security Patches​​

    • Resolves CVE-2025-1128 (CVSS 9.8): Remote code execution vulnerability in FortiGate’s IPS engine
    • Fixes memory leak in SD-WAN orchestration module affecting 3800D series since v6.4.12
    • Implements FIPS 140-3 compliance updates for government deployments

  2. ​​Performance Enhancements​​

    • 40Gbps IPsec VPN throughput optimization via NP7 hardware offloading
    • 33% reduction in FortiGuard threat feed synchronization latency
    • Improved SSD wear-leveling algorithm for 3800D’s onboard storage

  3. ​​Operational Improvements​​

    • Automated configuration backup before firmware upgrades
    • REST API support for bulk policy migration (max 5,000 rules per transaction)
    • Enhanced SNMP traps for hardware health monitoring (PSU, fan RPM thresholds)

Compatibility and Requirements

​​Category​​ ​​Specifications​​
Supported Hardware FortiGate 3815D, 3805D
Minimum FortiOS Version 6.4.15
Storage Requirements 2.7GB free space + 8GB RAM

  • Third-party VPN clients using IKEv1 protocol

Limitations and Restrictions

  1. ​​Upgrade Constraints​​

    • Requires factory reset when downgrading from v7.0+ configurations
    • Simultaneous IPSec tunnels capped at 15,000 on 3815D (vs. 20,000 theoretical maximum)

  2. ​​Known Issues​​

    • GUI latency (2-4 sec) when editing >1,000 firewall policies
    • SSD health monitoring may report false positives in RAID 1 configurations
    • SD-WAN SLA probes fail when using IPv6 link-local addresses

  3. ​​Feature Deprecations​​

    • Removed support for TLS 1.0/1.1 in explicit web proxy mode
    • Discontinued RADIUS CHAP authentication for admin logins
