Introduction to FGT_101E-v6-build1364-FORTINET.out Software
This firmware package (FGT_101E-v6-build1364-FORTINET.out) delivers critical security and operational updates for FortiGate 101E series firewalls under FortiOS 6.4.12. Released in Q2 2025, it resolves 12 CVEs while optimizing network performance for small-to-medium enterprise edge deployments. The build1364 version specifically enhances hardware-accelerated threat detection and aligns with NIST SP 800-207 Zero Trust architecture guidelines.
Designed exclusively for FortiGate 101E models (FG-101E), this release maintains backward compatibility with FortiOS 6.4.x configurations. Network administrators managing distributed branch offices should prioritize deployment to address critical SSL-VPN vulnerabilities (CVE-2025-21775) and improve SD-WAN traffic prioritization algorithms.
Key Features and Improvements
-
Security Enforcement
- Patches 6 high-severity CVEs (8.5+ CVSSv3) including CVE-2025-21775 – SSL-VPN buffer overflow enabling remote code execution
- Upgrades IPsec VPN encryption to AES-GCM-256 with FIPS 140-3 Level 2 validation
- FortiGuard threat intelligence updates (v25.6) with 1,450+ new IPS signatures
-
Performance Optimization
- 20% faster IPsec throughput (1.8 Gbps → 2.2 Gbps) via NP6lite ASIC optimizations
- 35% reduction in memory fragmentation during 10Gbps DDoS mitigation
- Enhanced TCP session setup rate (14,000→16,500 sessions/sec)
-
Protocol Support
- Extended TLS 1.3 support with X25519 elliptic curve implementation
- Improved SD-WAN application steering for Microsoft Teams/Slack traffic patterns
- IPv6 DHCPv6 Prefix Delegation (RFC 8415) compliance updates
Compatibility and Requirements

Compatibility Notes
- Incompatible with FG-100E/FG-200E due to NP6lite ASIC architecture differences
- Requires firmware rollback protection disabled for downgrades below 6.4.9
- Full IPS functionality requires active FortiGuard Unified Protection subscription
Limitations and Restrictions
-
Functional Constraints
- Maximum 2.5Gbps throughput requires Security Processor Unit (SPU) acceleration license
- Quantum-safe VPN limited to IPsec tunnels (SSL-VPN not supported)
- SD-WAN path monitoring restricted to 15 concurrent SLA probes
-
Operational Restrictions
- Firmware downgrades below 6.4.9 erase custom threat prevention profiles
- Simultaneous SSL inspection/AV scanning limited to 80% of total RAM
- IPv6 DHCPv6 Prefix Delegation requires hardware revision C+
