Introduction to FGT_2500E-v6-build1364-FORTINET.out
This enterprise-grade firmware update addresses 14 CVEs identified in FortiOS 6.4 deployments, specifically engineered for FortiGate 2500E series next-generation firewalls deployed in hyperscale data centers and carrier-grade networks. As part of Fortinet’s Extended Security Maintenance program, build 1364 resolves critical memory corruption vulnerabilities in SSL-VPN implementations while enhancing threat prevention capabilities through FortiGuard Advanced Malware Protection (AMP) integration.
Compatible exclusively with FortiGate 2500E/2500EF hardware platforms, the update supports configurations running FortiOS 6.4.0 through 6.4.14. The “v6” designation corresponds to FortiOS 6.x architecture standards, with “build1364” representing cumulative security patches applied since the platform’s initial release.
