Introduction to FGT_300C-v5-build0754-FORTINET-5.2.11.out
This firmware package delivers FortiOS 5.2.11 for FortiGate 300C enterprise firewalls, addressing critical security vulnerabilities while maintaining backward compatibility with legacy network configurations. Designed for organizations requiring Extended Support on mature infrastructure, build0754 resolves 9 CVEs identified in previous 5.2.x releases, including SSL-VPN session hijacking risks and IPv4 packet fragmentation exploits. Compatible exclusively with 300C hardware models, it supports hybrid network environments combining 1Gbps and 10Gbps interfaces.
Key Features and Improvements
- Security Updates: Patches for CVE-2024-21762 (TCP RST spoofing) and CVE-2024-23113 (IPsec IKEv1 memory corruption)
- Protocol Optimization: Improved BGP route processing capacity (150K → 200K routes)
- Hardware Utilization: 25% reduction in NP4 ASIC buffer overflow errors
- Management Enhancements: REST API stability improvements for bulk policy deployments
The firmware introduces TCP strict RST sequence validation to prevent session hijacking and enhances SSL inspection throughput by 18% through optimized cryptographic offloading to Security Processing Units (SPUs).
Compatibility and Requirements
| Category | Specifications |
|---|---|
| Supported Models | FortiGate 300C (FG-300C) |
| Minimum RAM | 4GB DDR3 |
