Introduction to FGT_3000D-v6-build0419-FORTINET.out.zip
This firmware package provides critical security enhancements and stability improvements for FortiGate 3000D next-generation firewalls running FortiOS 6.4. Designed for enterprise network environments, build 0419 addresses 12 documented vulnerabilities while optimizing threat prevention performance for high-traffic networks.
Compatible exclusively with FortiGate 3000D hardware appliances, this update follows Fortinet’s Q4 2024 security advisory addressing risks in SSL-VPN implementations and management interfaces. The release maintains backward compatibility with configurations from FortiOS 6.2.x and later versions.
Key Features and Improvements
-
Critical Vulnerability Remediation
Resolves CVE-2024-48721 (CVSS 9.8) – a heap-based buffer overflow in IPS engine packet processing that could enable remote code execution. This patch prevents exploit chains combining this vulnerability with improper certificate validation flaws. -
Throughput Optimization
- 23% improvement in IPsec VPN throughput (15 Gbps → 18.4 Gbps)
- 17% reduction in SSL inspection latency for 10k concurrent connections
- Enhanced Protocol Support
- TLS 1.3 full handshake acceleration via NP7 processors
- QUIC protocol visibility for modern web application traffic
- Management Interface Security
- Stricter validation for FortiGuard distribution server certificates
- Default disablement of TLS 1.0/1.1 in GUI/API access
- System Stability
- Fixes memory leak in extended UTM logging configurations
- Resolves HA synchronization failures during asymmetric traffic spikes
