Introduction to FGT_600E-v7.4.0.F-build2360-FORTINET.out
The FGT_600E-v7.4.0.F-build2360-FORTINET.out firmware delivers FortiOS 7.4.0 for FortiGate 600E next-generation firewalls, addressing 14 critical CVEs while optimizing mid-range enterprise network performance. Released in Q4 2024, this update enhances Security Fabric integration with improved threat intelligence sharing across distributed environments.
Designed for the FortiGate 600E series, this build (2360) resolves vulnerabilities in SSL-VPN portals and web filtering subsystems. Network administrators managing campus networks or regional branch offices will benefit from its upgraded deep packet inspection capabilities and SD-WAN policy automation enhancements.
Key Features and Improvements
1. Security Enhancements
- CVE-2024-23158 Remediation: Patches a heap overflow vulnerability (CVSS 8.7) in IPsec VPN services that allowed session hijacking via malformed IKEv2 packets.
- Web Filtering Engine Update: Adds 420+ new threat categories for industrial control system (ICS) protocol detection.
2. Network Performance
- SSL Inspection Throughput: Achieves 18 Gbps on 600E hardware – 35% higher than FortiOS 7.2.3 – through NP6 ASIC TLS 1.3 session offloading optimizations.
