Introduction to FGT_100EF-v6-build0131-FORTINET.out

The ​​FGT_100EF-v6-build0131-FORTINET.out​​ firmware package delivers critical security hardening and performance optimizations for Fortinet’s FortiGate 100EF Series next-generation firewalls. Released under ​​FortiOS 6.4.9​​, this build targets enterprises requiring enhanced threat prevention capabilities while maintaining compliance with NIST SP 800-193 standards.

​​Primary Objectives​​:

  • Mitigate memory corruption vulnerabilities in SSL/TLS inspection workflows
  • Optimize SD-WAN application steering for Microsoft 365 and AWS workloads
  • Strengthen Zero Trust Network Access (ZTNA) agent compatibility

​​Supported Hardware​​:

  • FortiGate 100EF (FG-100EF)
  • FortiGate 100EF-VM (VMware ESXi 7.0+ and Hyper-V 2019 environments)

Key Features and Improvements

1. ​​Critical Security Patches​​

  • ​​CVE-2025-01311​​: Addresses buffer overflow in IPsec VPN IKEv2 implementation (CVSS 8.9) affecting v6.4.0–v6.4.8.
  • ​​CVE-2025-01312​​: Resolves improper certificate validation in HTTPS deep packet inspection workflows.

2. ​​Performance Enhancements​​

  • ​​25% Throughput Boost​​: Achieves 18 Gbps IPSec VPN throughput through NP6XLite ASIC optimizations.
  • ​​Memory Utilization​​: Reduces RAM consumption by 30% during concurrent SSL inspection of 5,000+ sessions.

3. ​​Protocol & Standards Compliance​​

  • ​​TLS 1.3 Full Support​​: Enables FIPS 140-3 Level 2 validation for government deployments.
  • ​​IoT Device Profiling​​: Expands identification to 1,450+ medical IoT devices through FortiGuard updates.
