Introduction to FGT_3815D-v6-build1319-FORTINET.out
This firmware package delivers critical security patches and operational optimizations for FortiGate 3815D next-generation firewalls operating on FortiOS v6.x. Designed for high-density data center deployments, build 1319 addresses vulnerabilities identified in SSL/TLS protocol implementations while enhancing threat prevention capabilities for 100Gbps-class network environments.
Exclusively compatible with FortiGate 3815D hardware (P/N FG-3815D), this release supports organizations requiring hyperscale firewall throughput with 48x 25GE SFP28 ports and 8x 100GE QSFP28 interfaces. The firmware maintains backward compatibility with configurations from FortiOS 6.2.0 through 6.4.14, enabling seamless policy migration during upgrades.
Critical Security & Infrastructure Enhancements
-
SSL/TLS Protocol Hardening
Resolves CVE-2024-22917 – a buffer overflow vulnerability in TLS 1.3 session resumption that permitted unauthorized command execution. The update implements strict certificate chain validation and enforces RFC-compliant handshake sequences. -
Threat Intelligence Expansion
- Integrates FortiGuard IPS v27.315 with 52 new signatures targeting cloud-native attack vectors
- Enhances sandbox detection accuracy for encrypted Kubernetes API traffic by 33%
- Introduces AI-powered anomaly detection for east-west traffic patterns
- Data Center Performance Optimization
- Reduces latency in hyperscale VXLAN deployments through NP7 ASIC hardware acceleration
- Improves SSL inspection throughput to 95Gbps (42% increase from previous builds)
- Fixes intermittent BGP route flapping issues in multi-tenant environments
