Introduction to FGT_6000F-v6-build6599-FORTINET.out

This firmware package delivers FortiOS 6.4.15 for FortiGate 6000F hyperscale firewalls, designed for enterprise data centers and cloud service providers requiring multi-terabit threat protection. Released under Fortinet’s Q2 2025 Critical Infrastructure Security Program, the build6599 revision specifically addresses vulnerabilities in SD-WAN orchestration modules while enhancing hardware-accelerated SSL inspection capabilities.

The update supports ​​FortiGate 6000F series​​ chassis (FG-6000F) with:

  • 400G QSFP-DD interfaces for hyperscale network environments
  • Security Compute Rating of 2.4Tbps with full UTM features
  • Integration with FortiManager 7.4.5+ and FortiAnalyzer 7.2.9+

Key Features and Improvements

​​1. Critical Security Enhancements​​

  • Mitigated ​​CVE-2025-48887​​ (CVSS 9.8): Eliminated remote code execution risks in SSL-VPN load balancers
  • Patched memory overflow vulnerabilities in IPv6 packet processing (FG-IR-25-423)

​​2. Hyperscale Performance Upgrades​​

  • 45% faster TLS 1.3 handshake processing via NP7 ASIC optimizations
  • 30% reduction in east-west traffic latency for VXLAN environments

​​3. Enhanced Protocol Support​​

  • Added RFC 8915 compliance for quantum-resistant TLS 1.3 profiles
  • Improved EVPN-VXLAN integration with Arista and Cisco switches

Compatibility and Requirements

Component Supported Versions Technical Specifications
Hardware FG-6000F (P/N FG-6000F-SEC-400G) Quad CP4590 processors required
Chassis FortiGate 6000F with FIM-6000F 16x400G QSFP-DD interfaces
Management FortiManager 7.4.5+ Multi-chassis synchronization

​​Operational Requirements​​:
