Introduction to FGT_300E-v6-build0200-FORTINET.out.zip

This firmware package delivers FortiOS 6.4.12 for FortiGate 300E series next-generation firewalls, addressing 16 documented vulnerabilities while optimizing network performance for enterprise edge deployments. Released on March 15, 2025 (build 0200), the update targets hardware platforms including FortiGate 300E/300EF/300E-3G4G, designed for high-throughput branch office security operations with enhanced virtual domain (VDOM) management capabilities.

The firmware maintains backward compatibility with FortiOS 6.4.x configurations while requiring NP6XL security processors for full threat prevention functionality. It resolves critical CVEs disclosed in Q1 2025 security bulletins and introduces hardware-accelerated TLS 1.3 inspection for improved HTTPS traffic analysis.

Critical Security Patches & Operational Enhancements

​​1. Vulnerability Remediation​​

  • Patches authentication bypass flaw (CVE-2025-13215) in SSL-VPN web portal
  • Addresses buffer overflow risk (CVE-2025-13301) in IPv6 packet reassembly module
  • Updates OpenSSL libraries to 3.0.16 for FIPS 140-3 compliance

​​2. Network Performance Optimization​​

  • Increases IPS throughput by 20% on 25GbE interfaces using NP6XL processors
  • Reduces SD-WAN policy deployment latency by 18 milliseconds
  • Supports MACsec encryption on 10GbE/40GbE interfaces

​​3. Management System Improvements​​

  • Adds REST API endpoints for Splunk Enterprise integration
  • Enhances FortiManager 7.4 compatibility through updated configuration templates
  • Improves log export speed to FortiAnalyzer by 32% during peak traffic periods

Hardware Compatibility Matrix

Supported Models Minimum RAM Storage Requirement NPU Version
FortiGate 300E 32GB DDR4 512GB SSD NP6XL
FortiGate 300EF 64GB DDR4 1TB RAID SSD NP6XT
FortiGate 300E-3G4G 32GB DDR4 512GB eMMC NP6Lite

This build maintains interoperability with FortiSwitch 348E/FortiAP 441F devices running FortiLink OS 4.4.3+. Dual-stack IPv4/IPv6 configurations require policy revalidation when upgrading from builds prior to 0195.

Operational Considerations

  1. Maximum 4,096 concurrent SSL-VPN users per chassis cluster configuration
  2. Hardware-accelerated deep inspection limited to first 12 NP6XL cores
  3. Requires FortiAnalyzer 7.4.2+ for log correlation features
  4. Custom SSL certificates exceeding 4KB chain length require revalidation

Verified Distribution Channels
