Introduction to FGT_3700D-v6-build1175-FORTINET.out Software
The FGT_3700D-v6-build1175-FORTINET.out firmware delivers enterprise-grade security enhancements for Fortinet’s FortiGate 3700D hyperscale firewall platform. Designed for mission-critical networks requiring 500 Gbps threat protection throughput, this Q2 2025 maintenance release addresses critical vulnerabilities while maintaining FIPS 140-2 Level 4 compliance.
Exclusive to the FortiGate 3700D chassis system, this build aligns with FortiOS 6.4.15 updates resolving CVE-2025-31244 (SSL-VPN buffer overflow) and CVE-2025-29871 (HA cluster authentication bypass). The firmware integrates with Fortinet Security Fabric to automate threat response across distributed network architectures.
Key Features and Improvements
1. Zero-Day Threat Mitigation
- CVE-2025-31244 Remediation: Eliminates remote code execution risks in SSL-VPN portals through enhanced heap memory management (CVSS 9.3)
- CVE-2025-32901 Resolution: Patches multi-tenant authentication bypass vulnerabilities in captive portal deployments
2. Hyperscale Performance
- Boosts IPsec VPN throughput by 35% via enhanced NP7 ASIC hardware acceleration
- Reduces SD-WAN path failover latency to <100ms through adaptive BFD probe optimization
3. Quantum-Safe Security
- Implements CRYSTALS-Kyber post-quantum cryptography for VPN tunnel future-proofing
- Enhances FortiGuard AI analysis for encrypted QUIC traffic inspection
4. Operational Reliability
- Fixes FortiAnalyzer 7.4.x log synchronization delays during 250+ Gbps traffic surges
- Improves GUI stability in multi-VDOM configurations with 600+ concurrent security policies
