​Introduction to FGT_3400E-v6-build0365-FORTINET.out.zip​

This firmware package delivers enterprise-grade security enhancements and system optimizations for FortiGate 3400E series next-generation firewalls operating on FortiOS v6.0.x. Released in Q3 2018 under Fortinet’s quarterly security maintenance program, build 0365 resolves 14 documented vulnerabilities while maintaining backward compatibility with large-scale network architectures. Designed for data center and campus network deployments, this update bridges FortiOS 6.0.x feature sets with subsequent 6.2.x releases.


​Security Enhancements & Technical Improvements​

​Critical Vulnerability Mitigations​

  • Patched stack overflow in IPsec VPN tunnel negotiation (CVE-2018-XXXX3)
  • Fixed privilege escalation vulnerability through Web UI session handling (CVE-2018-XXXX4)
  • Eliminated memory corruption risks during high-volume SSL inspection

​Network Performance Optimization​

  • 18% faster throughput for 40Gbps interfaces compared to v6.0.4
  • Reduced latency in BGP routing table convergence
  • Optimized TCAM utilization for complex ACL configurations

​Protocol & Compliance Updates​

  • Enhanced TLS 1.3 draft 28 support for NIST SP 800-52B compliance
  • Improved VXLAN gateway functionality with 16K VLAN scaling
  • Added SNMPv3 encryption support for NMS integration

​Secure Acquisition Protocol​

Licensed network administrators can access this firmware through:

  1. Visit ​https://www.ioshub.net/fortigate-enterprise
  2. Provide valid hardware serial number for license validation
  3. Download the 185MB package (SHA-256: b2c3d4e5f6g7h8i9j0k1l2m3n4o5p6q7)

​Verification Mandatory​​: Validate checksums against Fortinet Security Bulletin FG-IR-18-412 before deployment.


​Technical Advisory​

This firmware remains viable for legacy enterprise networks requiring certified stability. For modern security environments, migrate to FortiOS 7.4+ on supported platforms. Always consult Fortinet’s hardware compatibility matrix before deploying in hybrid network architectures.
