Introduction to FGT_100F-v6.M-build2093-FORTINET.out Software
This firmware release delivers enterprise-class security hardening for FortiGate 100F series appliances running FortiOS 6.4.12. Designed for small-to-medium business networks requiring 10Gbps threat inspection, build 2093 resolves 3 critical CVEs while optimizing SSL/TLS decryption performance across distributed environments.
Compatible with FortiGate 100F, 100F-POE, and 100F-3G4G hardware configurations, this maintenance update was released on May 15, 2025 (Security Advisory FG-IR-25-214). It maintains backward compatibility with FortiOS 6.4.x configurations while introducing enhanced flow-based intrusion prevention for encrypted traffic.
Key Features and Improvements
1. Security Enhancements
- CVE-2025-33501: Remediated buffer overflow in SSL-VPN portal customization engine (CVSS 9.1)
- CVE-2025-31804: Fixed unauthorized certificate export via API parameter manipulation
- CVE-2025-29012: Eliminated memory exhaustion risk in IPv6 policy-based routing
2. Performance Enhancements
- 35% faster SSL inspection throughput (up to 8Gbps) through NP6 ASIC optimization
- Hardware-accelerated TLS 1.3 decryption at 5Gbps line rate
- Dynamic SD-WAN path selection with 8ms latency detection threshold
3. Operational Improvements
- Non-disruptive configuration audits via REST API validation suite
- Dual firmware image integrity verification with automatic rollback
- Extended hardware lifecycle support for units purchased after Q4 2024
