Introduction to FGT_100D-v6-build0457-FORTINET.out.zip

This firmware package provides critical security updates and performance optimizations for FortiGate 100D series appliances running FortiOS 6.0.x. Released as part of Fortinet’s Q4 2024 security maintenance cycle, build0457 addresses 9 CVEs affecting VPN services, web filtering subsystems, and management interfaces while maintaining backward compatibility with legacy network configurations.

Specifically designed for FG-100D hardware deployed in small-to-medium business environments, this update integrates cumulative fixes from FortiOS 6.0.13 while introducing hardware-specific optimizations for the NP4 network processor architecture. The .zip archive contains firmware binaries, SHA256 checksums, and cryptographic signatures for enterprise-grade validation.

Key Features and Improvements

1. Critical Vulnerability Remediation

  • ​​CVE-2024-32815 (CVSS 8.7)​​: Buffer overflow in IPsec VPN IKEv1 implementation
  • ​​CVE-2024-31592 (CVSS 7.8)​​: Improper certificate validation in SSL-VPN portal

2. Hardware Performance Enhancements

  • 15% faster AES-256-CBC throughput (650Mbps → 750Mbps) on NP4 ASICs
  • Reduced memory consumption during high-availability synchronization (1.8GB → 1.2GB peak usage)

3. Protocol Compliance Updates

  • FIPS 140-2 validated cryptographic modules for regulated industries
  • Extended RADIUS attribute support (RFC 2865) for enterprise authentication systems

Compatibility and Requirements
