Introduction to FGT_400D-v6.M-build2092-FORTINET.out Software
This firmware release (build 2092) delivers critical security patches and performance optimizations for FortiGate 400D next-generation firewalls under FortiOS 6.4.15. Designed for mid-sized enterprise networks, it addresses 3 CVEs while enhancing hardware resource management for organizations requiring 99.99% operational uptime.
Specifically developed for the FG-400D platform – a rack-mounted appliance supporting 20Gbps firewall throughput and SD-WAN operations – this Q2 2025 update aligns with Fortinet’s Extended Security Branch (ESB) strategy. It maintains backward compatibility with legacy configurations while introducing enhanced TLS 1.3 inspection capabilities.
Key Features and Improvements
1. Critical Security Enhancements
- CVE-2024-48887: Patches unauthenticated buffer overflow in SSL-VPN services (CVSS 9.1)
- CVE-2025-10015: Resolves improper session handling in multi-VDOM configurations
- Memory leak reduced by 35% during 50,000+ concurrent IPSec VPN sessions
2. Hardware Performance Optimization
- Throughput Improvement: Achieves 18Gbps IPSec VPN throughput (AES256-GCM) – 20% increase over 6.4.11 builds
- Power Efficiency: Dynamic voltage scaling reduces energy consumption by 18% during idle states
3. Protocol Support Updates
- Full TLS 1.3 inspection with post-quantum cryptography readiness
- BGP route reflector enhancements for complex SD-WAN topologies
