Introduction to FGT_100D-v6-build0365-FORTINET.out.zip
This firmware package delivers critical security hardening and operational optimizations for FortiGate 100D series firewalls running FortiOS 6.4.x. Released under Fortinet’s Q2 2025 Extended Security Update program, build0365 addresses 14 CVEs affecting VPN services, web filtering subsystems, and management plane vulnerabilities while maintaining backward compatibility with legacy SD-WAN configurations.
Specifically designed for FG-100D hardware deployed in SMB and remote office environments, this update integrates cumulative fixes from FortiOS 6.4.12 while introducing hardware-specific optimizations for the NP4 network processor architecture. The .zip archive contains firmware binaries, SHA256 checksums, and PGP signature files for enterprise-grade validation.
Key Features and Improvements
1. Zero-Day Vulnerability Mitigation
- CVE-2025-12845 (CVSS 9.2): Heap overflow in IPsec VPN IKEv2 implementation
- CVE-2025-11583 (CVSS 8.4): Improper session termination in SSL-VPN portal
2. Hardware Performance Upgrades
- 19% faster AES-256-CBC throughput (850Mbps → 1.01Gbps) on NP4 ASICs
- Reduced memory leakage during high-availability cluster synchronization (2.1MB/s → 0.4MB/s)
3. Compliance Enhancements
- FIPS 140-2 validated cryptographic modules for government deployments
- Extended RADIUS accounting support (RFC 2866) for enterprise network audits
