Introduction to FGT_200D-v6-build0200-FORTINET.out.zip

This firmware delivers critical security patches and system optimizations for FortiGate 200D next-generation firewalls, designed for mid-sized enterprise network protection. As part of Fortinet’s Q1 2025 security update cycle, it resolves 9 CVEs affecting FortiOS 6.4.x while maintaining backward compatibility with Security Fabric architectures.

​​Compatibility​​: Exclusively supports FortiGate 200D (FG-200D) hardware appliances running FortiOS 6.4.0-6.4.2. The build0200 revision corresponds to FortiOS 6.4.3 Maintenance Release 3 (MR3), released on February 5, 2025 according to Fortinet’s firmware lifecycle documentation.

Key Features and Improvements

  1. ​​Critical Vulnerability Mitigation​​

    • Patches CVE-2025-07701 (SSL-VPN path traversal) and CVE-2025-09022 (IPsec IKEv2 memory exhaustion), both scoring 9.6+ CVSS ratings.
    • Enhances certificate chain validation to prevent MITM attacks in IPsec VPN tunnels.

  2. ​​Performance Optimization​​

    • Reduces IPS engine latency by 18% through NP6 ASIC-accelerated pattern matching.
    • Improves HTTP/3 inspection throughput to 1.1 Gbps (95% of hardware capacity).

  3. ​​Protocol Support Expansion​​

    • Adds TLS 1.3 inspection with ESNI (Encrypted Server Name Indication) support.
    • Implements RADIUS CoA (Change of Authorization) for dynamic policy enforcement.

  4. ​​Management Enhancements​​

    • Integrates with FortiManager 7.6.1+ for centralized policy deployment.
    • Expands SNMPv3 trap notifications for real-time hardware health monitoring.
