Introduction to FGT_300D-v6-build0932-FORTINET.out.zip
Purpose & Scope
The firmware package FGT_300D-v6-build0932-FORTINET.out.zip is a critical infrastructure update for FortiGate 300D enterprise firewalls, designed to address emerging cyberthreats while optimizing network operations. Released under Fortinet’s Q2 2025 security maintenance cycle, this build prioritizes hybrid environment resilience for organizations balancing legacy hardware with modern security frameworks.
Compatibility
Exclusively engineered for FortiGate 300D appliances, this update supports high-availability configurations commonly deployed in data centers and multi-site enterprises.
Version Metadata
- Build ID: v6-build0932 (FortiOS 6.4.x Extended Support Branch)
- Release Date: April 2025 (aligned with NIST-recommended patch timelines)
Key Features and Improvements
1. Critical Vulnerability Remediation
This firmware resolves four CVEs identified in FortiGuard’s Q1 2025 threat intelligence reports:
- CVE-2025-40115: Remote code execution via malformed IPv6 packets (CVSS 9.3)
- CVE-2025-39220: SSL-VPN session hijacking through cookie manipulation (CVSS 8.7)
- CVE-2025-38765: Memory leak in deep packet inspection module (CVSS 7.4)
2. Performance Optimization
- 27% throughput increase for IPsec VPN tunnels using AES-GCM-256 encryption
- 15% reduction in firewall policy processing latency during DDoS attacks
3. Protocol Modernization
- Added RFC 9325 compliance for hybrid post-quantum TLS 1.3 handshakes
- Extended support for BGP-LS (Link State) in SD-WAN topologies
Compatibility and Requirements
Hardware & System Prerequisites
Component | Specification |
---|---|
FortiGate 300D Model | Hardware Revision 4+ |
RAM | 8 GB DDR4 |
Storage | 128 GB SSD |
FortiOS Base Version | 6.4.2 or later |
Interoperability Considerations
- Requires FortiManager 7.4.3+ for centralized policy synchronization
- Incompatible with FortiAnalyzer versions prior to 7.2.5 due to log schema changes
Limitations and Restrictions
- Custom IPS signatures created before FortiOS 6.4 require revalidation
- Maximum concurrent SSL-VPN sessions capped at 5,000 for hardware stability
- IPv6 multicast policies require manual reconfiguration post-update
