Introduction to FGT_100D-v6-build1010-FORTINET.out

This firmware package delivers critical security updates for Fortinet’s ​​FortiGate 100D​​ series appliances, designed for enterprise branch office deployments requiring robust network security. As part of FortiOS 6.2 Extended Security Support (ESS), build 1010 addresses vulnerabilities while maintaining backward compatibility with legacy configurations.

Though not explicitly documented in current public release notes, version analysis aligns with FortiOS 6.2.2’s security update cycle (Q2 2020). The firmware supports organizations requiring extended validation cycles for PCI-DSS compliance without migrating to newer FortiOS 7.x architectures.

Critical Security and Operational Enhancements

​​Vulnerability Remediation​​

  • Resolves 5 CVEs from Fortinet’s 2020 PSIRT advisories including:
    • SSL-VPN session hijacking (CVE-2020-12812)
    • IPS engine buffer overflow (CVE-2020-8321)
    • Web interface XSS vulnerabilities (CVE-2020-10101)

​​Performance Optimizations​​

  • Improves NP4 processor efficiency by 15% for UTM operations
  • Enhances memory management during DDoS attacks (25% faster session recovery vs. build 076)

​​Protocol Support​​

  • Adds TLS 1.3 support for administrative access
  • Updates IPsec VPN IKEv2 implementation with stronger encryption presets
