Introduction to FGT_800D-v6-build1364-FORTINET.out Software
This firmware delivers FortiOS 6.4.12 for FortiGate 800D series enterprise firewalls, addressing critical security vulnerabilities while optimizing large-scale network performance. Released in Q2 2025 under Fortinet’s Extended Support Program, it provides operational stability for enterprise networks requiring advanced threat prevention and SD-WAN integration.
Designed for high-traffic environments, the build leverages dual NP6 security processors to achieve 25 Gbps threat inspection throughput. It maintains backward compatibility with FortiManager 7.6+ ecosystems while introducing quantum-safe VPN configurations using NIST-approved hybrid encryption algorithms.
Key Features and Improvements
1. Critical Security Updates
- Patches 7 CVEs including SSL-VPN session hijacking (CVE-2025-32761) and CLI buffer overflow vulnerabilities
- Upgrades OpenSSL to 3.0.17 with FIPS-140-3 Level 2 validation
2. Performance Optimization
- 40% faster IPsec VPN throughput (15 Gbps → 21 Gbps) via NP6 hardware acceleration
- Reduces HA cluster configuration sync latency to 4 seconds (from 7 seconds)
3. Protocol Support
- Implements RFC 8784-compliant WireGuard VPN gateway functionality
- Supports TLS 1.3 FIPS-validated AES-256-GCM-SHA384 cipher suite
4. Management Enhancements
- Introduces REST API v2.8 endpoints for automated zero-trust policy deployment
- Enables FortiAnalyzer 7.6 real-time threat correlation
