1. Introduction to FGT_140E_POE-v6-build0365-FORTINET.out
This firmware package delivers FortiOS 6.4.15 for FortiGate 140E-POE series security appliances, released in Q2 2025 as a critical infrastructure update. Designed for enterprise branch offices requiring 802.3bt PoE++ compliance, it resolves 3 high-severity vulnerabilities while optimizing power delivery management for IoT devices and wireless access points.
The build0365 revision enhances integration with FortiSwitch 148E-POE devices through improved FortiLink protocols, specifically addressing packet loss issues observed in high-density deployments. Compatible exclusively with FG-140E-POE hardware, this update maintains backward compatibility with configurations created in FortiOS 6.4.12+ but requires full system reboot when downgrading from 7.x firmware branches.
2. Key Features and Improvements
Security Enhancements
- Patches CVE-2025-33122 (CVSS 8.8): Eliminates buffer overflow in LLDP-MED protocol implementation
- Resolves CVE-2025-31901 (CVSS 7.9): Fixes unauthorized PoE port activation via RADIUS attributes
- Mitigates CVE-2025-30389 (CVSS 6.7): Hardens TLS 1.3 handshake processing for IoT device authentication
Performance Upgrades
- 25% faster PoE negotiation times (tested with 48-port 802.3bt Class 8 loads)
- 18% reduction in power consumption during idle states (measured at 740W total budget)
- Optimized traffic shaping for IP camera streams (supports 200+ concurrent 4K H.265 feeds)
Operational Improvements
- Extended REST API endpoints for bulk PoE scheduling
- Enhanced integration with FortiNAC 9.4+ for device profiling
- New SNMP MIB support for real-time per-port power monitoring
