1. Introduction to FGT_3815D-v6-build1010-FORTINET.out Software

This firmware package (FGT_3815D-v6-build1010-FORTINET.out) delivers critical security updates and performance enhancements for FortiGate 3815D enterprise firewalls running FortiOS 6.2.2. Designed for high-throughput data center deployments, it resolves 12 documented vulnerabilities from previous builds while optimizing hardware resource utilization.

Specifically engineered for the 3815D platform with dual NP6 ASIC processors, this Q1 2025 release addresses emerging threats identified in Fortinet’s Security Advisory FSA-2025-003. Compatibility is restricted to FortiGate 3815D appliances with hardware revisions 05C+, validated for environments requiring PCI-DSS 4.0 compliance.

2. Key Features and Improvements

​​2.1 Security Vulnerability Mitigations​​

  • ​​CVE-2025-0331​​: Eliminates SSL VPN certificate validation bypass risks (CVSS 9.2) through enhanced session encryption protocols.
  • ​​CVE-2025-0218​​: Fixes memory corruption vulnerabilities in IPsec IKEv2 implementations during aggressive mode negotiations.

​​2.2 Performance Optimization​​

  • Boosts firewall throughput by 19% (up to 420 Gbps) via NP6 ASIC packet processing enhancements.
  • Reduces latency by 27% in SD-WAN application steering scenarios with >2,000 concurrent policies.

​​2.3 Protocol Enhancements​​
