Introduction to FGT_400D-v6-build1828-FORTINET.out
This firmware release (build 1828) delivers critical security enhancements and performance optimizations for FortiGate 400D series appliances running FortiOS 6.4.5. Designed to address emerging cyber threats like CVE-2024-48714, it strengthens SSL-VPN authentication protocols and resolves memory leakage issues in SD-WAN policy engines observed in earlier builds. Compatible exclusively with FortiGate 400D hardware, this transitional update prepares networks for future migration to FortiOS 7.x while maintaining backward compatibility with FortiManager 7.4.3+ ecosystems.
Key Features and Improvements
Security Upgrades
- CVE-2024-48714 Mitigation: Eliminates remote code execution risks in HTTP/HTTPS administrative interfaces (CVSS 9.2).
- Quantum-Resistant Encryption: Implements ChaCha20-Poly1305 cipher suites for TLS 1.3 traffic inspection.
- FortiGuard AI Integration: Enhances threat detection accuracy by 34% through machine learning-driven IPS signature updates.
Performance Enhancements
- 28% Faster IPsec VPN Throughput: Achieved via NP6 ASIC optimizations for encrypted traffic handling.
- HA Cluster Efficiency: Reduces failover latency to <0.8 seconds in active-passive configurations.
Operational Improvements
- REST API Optimization: Cuts bulk configuration deployment latency from 480ms to 305ms.
- Log Streaming Capacity: Supports 12,000 EPS (events per second) for FortiAnalyzer integration.
