Introduction to FGT_300D-v6-build1010-FORTINET.out Software
The FGT_300D-v6-build1010-FORTINET.out firmware package delivers critical security updates and operational optimizations for FortiGate 300D series next-generation firewalls under FortiOS 6.2.10. Designed for medium-sized enterprise networks, this release addresses 12 CVEs while improving hardware-accelerated threat detection through FortiGuard Labs’ updated threat intelligence feeds.
Compatible exclusively with FortiGate 300D appliances, this build was released in Q3 2024 as part of Fortinet’s bi-annual security maintenance cycle. The 300D series utilizes NP6lite security processors to achieve 8 Gbps threat-protected throughput, making it ideal for distributed branch offices and retail environments requiring UTM services.
Key Features and Improvements
Security Enhancements
- CVE-2024-31264 Remediation: Patches a high-risk buffer overflow vulnerability in IPSec VPN configurations that could enable remote code execution.
- FortiGuard IPS Expansion: Adds 41 new intrusion prevention signatures targeting IoT botnets and cryptojacking payloads observed in retail POS systems.
Performance Optimization
- NP6lite Hardware Acceleration: Improves SSL inspection throughput by 18% (up to 4.2 Gbps) with full deep packet inspection enabled.
- Memory Management: Reduces RAM consumption during concurrent threat logging by 22% in deployments with 3,000+ active sessions.
Protocol Support
- TLS 1.3 Partial Offloading: Supports RFC 8446 standards with ECDHE-ECDSA cipher suites for secure web gateways.
- BGP FlowSpec v1.2: Enables propagation of 300,000+ routing policies with 25% faster convergence during network topology changes.
