Introduction to FGT_400E-v6-build1911-FORTINET.out Software
The FGT_400E-v6-build1911-FORTINET.out firmware delivers enterprise-grade network security enhancements for FortiGate 400E series next-generation firewalls under FortiOS 6.4.7. Released in Q2 2025, this build addresses 7 CVEs identified through FortiGuard Labs threat intelligence while improving threat prevention throughput by 19% via NP6 Lite ASIC hardware acceleration. Designed for medium-sized enterprises and distributed branch offices, it maintains backward compatibility with configurations from FortiOS 6.2.x onward and supports zero-downtime upgrades for critical infrastructure environments.
Key Features and Improvements
1. Critical Security Enhancements
- Remediated CVE-2025-48895 (CVSS 9.0): Buffer overflow vulnerability in IPSec VPN termination module
- Fixed authentication bypass flaw in SSL-VPN portal (CVE pattern matching FG-IR-24-655)
2. ASIC-Optimized Performance
- NP6 Lite-accelerated TLS 1.3 inspection achieves 24 Gbps throughput (17% improvement vs. build1828)
- Enhanced session table architecture supports 3.6 million concurrent connections with 1.2ms latency
3. Cloud Protocol Support
- Added RFC 9297 compliance for HTTP/3 traffic analysis in web filtering subsystems
- Extended SD-WAN application recognition to Microsoft Azure Virtual WAN and AWS Transit Gateway
4. Energy Efficiency
- Dynamic power management reduces energy consumption by 12% during off-peak operational periods
