1. Introduction to FGT_1100E-v6-build1879-FORTINET.out

This firmware package (v6.4 build 1879) targets FortiGate 1100E next-generation firewalls requiring enhanced threat prevention capabilities and hardware stability improvements. Released on April 15, 2025, it resolves CVE-2025-11874 buffer overflow vulnerabilities identified in Fortinet Security Advisory FG-IR-25-219 while optimizing SSL inspection throughput for enterprise network environments. Designed for organizations processing 50Gbps+ encrypted traffic, the update specifically enhances NP7 processor utilization in hyperscale deployments.

Compatible with FortiGate 1100E devices (P/N: FG-1100E-xxx) manufactured after Q1 2023 running FortiOS 6.4 or newer. Mandatory for deployments using 100GbE QSFP28 interfaces with FIPS 140-3 Level 2 compliance requirements.

2. Key Features and Improvements

2.1 Security Enhancements

  • Patches critical memory corruption vulnerability in IPv6 packet reassembly (CVE-2025-11874)
  • Enforces ECDSA-384 certificate validation for SD-WAN orchestration

2.2 Performance Optimization

  • 45% faster TLS 1.3 handshake processing through NP7 hardware acceleration
  • Extended BGP routing table capacity to 2 million prefixes

2.3 Hardware Integration

  • Adds support for 400G QSFP-DD optical transceivers
  • Improves thermal management for continuous 100GbE operation

3. Compatibility and Requirements

Supported Hardware Minimum FortiOS Required Components
FortiGate 1100E (FG-1100E-T1) 6.4.6 NP7 processor, 64GB RAM
