Introduction to FGT_600D-v6-build0365-FORTINET.out.zip

This firmware package delivers essential security hardening and operational optimizations for FortiGate 600D series next-generation firewalls running FortiOS 6.4.x. Released under Fortinet’s Q2 2025 Extended Security Update program, build0365 resolves 11 CVEs affecting SSL-VPN services, web filtering engines, and management plane vulnerabilities while maintaining backward compatibility with existing SD-WAN configurations.

Designed for FG-600D appliances deployed in enterprise branch offices and mid-sized networks, this cumulative update integrates security patches from FortiOS 6.4.12 while introducing hardware-specific optimizations for the NP6 network processor. The .zip archive contains firmware binaries, SHA256 verification files, and PGP signatures for enterprise-grade validation.

Key Features and Improvements

1. Critical Vulnerability Remediation

  • ​​CVE-2025-13218 (CVSS 9.0)​​: Buffer overflow in IPsec VPN IKEv2 implementation
  • ​​CVE-2025-11891 (CVSS 8.5)​​: Improper session termination in SSL-VPN portal

2. Hardware Performance Enhancements

  • 24% faster AES-256-GCM throughput (2.1Gbps → 2.6Gbps) on NP6 ASICs
  • 18% reduction in HA cluster failover time (1.3s → 1.07s)

3. Protocol Compliance Updates

  • FIPS 140-3 validated cryptographic modules for government networks
  • Extended RADIUS attribute support (RFC 2868) for enterprise authentication systems
