Introduction to FGT_3000D-v6-build1914-FORTINET.out.zip
This critical firmware update resolves 23 CVEs for Fortinet’s enterprise-grade FortiGate 3000D next-generation firewall, designed for hyperscale network environments requiring 40Gbps+ threat inspection capabilities. As part of FortiOS 6.4’s extended support cycle, this build introduces hardware-accelerated post-quantum cryptography while patching vulnerabilities in SSL-VPN and management interfaces.
Core Functionality:
- Security vulnerability remediation for SSL-VPN/SSH protocols
- Quantum-safe encryption implementation for IPsec tunnels
- 40Gbps NP7XLite ASIC-accelerated threat detection
Compatibility:
- Exclusive to FortiGate 3000D appliances (FG-3000D Rev 4.2+ with NP7XLite ASIC)
- Requires 32GB RAM and 512GB SSD storage
Version Specifications:
- FortiOS Base Version: 6.4.19
- Release Type: Extended Security Update (ESU)
- Build Date: 2025-04-28
Key Features and Improvements
1. Critical Vulnerability Mitigation
- CVE-2025-3389: Patched buffer overflow in SSL-VPN portal authentication (CVSS 9.4)
- CVE-2025-3045: Fixed IPsec IKEv2 certificate validation bypass
- Addressed 21 medium-risk vulnerabilities in web filtering and DNS security services
2. Quantum-Resistant Encryption
- Hybrid XMSS+Kyber768 algorithm implementation for VPN tunnels
- 4.2x faster lattice-based cryptographic operations via NP7XLite ASIC
- FIPS 140-3 Level 3 validation for quantum-resistant modules
3. Performance Optimization
- 38% faster TLS 1.3 inspection throughput (28Gbps → 38.64Gbps)
- 22% reduction in memory consumption during 40G DDoS mitigation
- SD-WAN policy enforcement latency reduced to 2.5μs per flow
4. Operational Enhancements
- Automated configuration version tracking with 30-day rollback
- REST API bulk operation throughput increased by 48%
- Enhanced SNMP v3 monitoring for chassis environmental sensors
Compatibility and Requirements
| Component | Supported Specifications | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Hardware Platform | FG-3000D (Rev 4.2+) | Requires NP7XLite ASIC chipset |
| FortiManager | 7.4.6+ | Centralized policy management |
| FortiAnalyzer | 7.2.4+ | Enhanced threat correlation |
| Virtual Domains | Maximum 600 VDOMs | Resource-based allocation |
| Storage | 512GB SSD minimum | For forensic logging retention |
Critical Compatibility Notes:
- Incompatible with FG-3000D units manufactured before Q3 2023
- Requires BIOS firmware v3.2.9+ for quantum-safe encryption
- 40GE QSFP+ interfaces require transceiver firmware v4.3.1+
Limitations and Restrictions
- Does not support legacy IPSec configurations using 3DES encryption
- Requires FortiManager 7.4.6+ for centralized policy deployment
- Limited backward compatibility with FortiAnalyzer versions <7.2.3
