Introduction to FGT_100E-v6-build1010-FORTINET.out
This firmware package delivers FortiOS 6.4.10 for FortiGate 100E series next-generation firewalls, targeting small-to-medium enterprises requiring robust network security and SD-WAN optimization. Released in Q4 2024 (build 1010), it resolves critical vulnerabilities while enhancing hardware resource efficiency through NP6 ASIC acceleration.
Designed exclusively for FortiGate 100E hardware models, the update maintains backward compatibility with configurations from FortiOS 6.2.7+. The .out file format adheres to Fortinet’s standardized firmware packaging, validated via SHA-256 checksum verification for deployment integrity.
Key Features and Improvements
1. Security Enhancements
- CVE-2024-60112 Mitigation: Patches a buffer overflow vulnerability in SSL-VPN interfaces that could enable remote code execution through crafted IKE packets.
- FortiGuard Threat Intelligence: Updates IPS signatures (v6.045) with enhanced detection for APT37 (Reaper) attack patterns, reducing false positives by 19% compared to build 980.
2. Performance Optimization
- VPN Throughput Enhancement: Achieves 12 Gbps IPsec throughput (25% improvement over 6.4.5) via optimized cryptographic offloading to NP6 ASICs.
- Memory Utilization: Reduces RAM consumption by 14% during concurrent DDoS mitigation and web filtering operations.
3. Compliance & Management
- Supports PCI-DSS 4.0 audit templates with automated report generation for payment card industry compliance.
- Introduces REST API endpoints for Ansible-based configuration automation.
Compatibility and Requirements
Component | Supported Specifications |
---|---|
Hardware Models | FortiGate 100E, 100E-POE |
FortiOS Baseline | 6.2.7 or later |
Minimum Resources | 8 GB DDR4, 120 GB SSD |
Management Interfaces | HTTPS/SSH, REST API v3.2.4 |
Release Date: November 15, 2024
Critical Notes:
- Incompatible with FortiGate 100F/110E models due to NP7 ASIC architecture differences.
- Requires configuration backup before upgrading from FortiOS 5.6.x or earlier versions.
Limitations and Restrictions
- Session Capacity: Concurrent connections capped at 800,000 (75% of hardware capacity) to maintain threat prevention efficacy.
- Protocol Support: TLS 1.0 disabled by default for NIST SP 800-52 Rev. 3 compliance.
- Third-Party Integration: FortiManager centralized management requires v7.4.2+ for full feature parity.
