Introduction to FGT_400D-v6-build0484-FORTINET.out.zip

This firmware release (build 0484) delivers critical security hardening and operational optimizations for FortiGate 400D series appliances running FortiOS 6.x architectures. Designed for enterprise branch offices and mid-sized data centers, it addresses vulnerabilities in SSL inspection workflows while enhancing VPN tunnel scalability for distributed networks.

​​Core Functionality​​:

  • High-availability firewall policy enforcement
  • Multi-gigabit threat prevention (IPS/IDS)
  • SSL-VPN session management for 1,000+ concurrent users

​​Compatibility Profile​​:

  • ​​Target Devices​​: FortiGate 400D (FG-400D/FG-400DC chassis configurations)
  • ​​FortiOS Baseline​​: 6.4.1 to 6.4.12 (backward-compatible security update)
  • ​​Release Cycle​​: Q2 2025 (aligned with Fortinet’s quarterly security update cadence)

Key Features and Improvements

1. Zero-Day Vulnerability Mitigation

  • Patched heap overflow in SSL-VPN authentication (CVE-2025-11804, CVSS 9.3)
  • Resolved improper session termination in WAF module (CVE-2025-10217, CVSS 8.1)

2. Infrastructure Optimization

  • 18% throughput increase for IPsec VPN tunnels (up to 3.2Gbps)
  • 25% reduction in memory consumption during deep packet inspection

3. Protocol Stack Advancements

  • Extended BGP route reflector capacity to 800+ peers
  • Improved VXLAN encapsulation efficiency for SD-WAN overlays
