Introduction to FGT_1500D-v6-build1778-FORTINET-6.4.3.out

This firmware package (v6.4.3 build1778) is Fortinet’s Q3 2024 security maintenance release for FortiGate 1500D next-generation firewalls, specifically engineered to address critical vulnerabilities while optimizing enterprise-grade threat prevention capabilities. Designed for organizations requiring extended hardware lifecycle support, it enhances industrial control system (ICS) visibility and SSL inspection efficiency through protocol stack hardening.

Compatible exclusively with FortiGate 1500D appliances (hardware revisions P19320-XX+), this build introduces RFC 9293-compliant TCP state machine improvements and enhanced DNP3 protocol validation. The release aligns with Fortinet’s Extended Support Program (ESP) for critical infrastructure deployments in energy grids and transportation systems.

Key Features and Improvements

  1. ​​Critical Security Enhancements​​
