Introduction to FGT_60E-v6-build0443-FORTINET.out Software

This firmware package delivers FortiOS 6.4.15 for FortiGate 60E series firewalls, targeting critical security vulnerabilities and operational optimizations in enterprise networks. Released in Q4 2024, it specifically addresses CVE-2024-21762 – a critical SSL-VPN remote code execution flaw – while enhancing threat detection efficiency by 38% through upgraded FortiGuard AI engines. Designed for medium-sized businesses, it supports hybrid work environments with improved SD-WAN reliability and IoT device management.

Key Features and Improvements

​​1. Critical Vulnerability Mitigation​​
Patches 9 CVEs, including the high-risk SSL-VPN exploit (CVE-2024-21762) affecting FortiOS 6.4.0–6.4.14. The update introduces memory boundary checks to prevent unauthorized code execution via malformed HTTP chunk trailers.

​​2. Hardware Utilization Optimization​​
Reduces RAM consumption by 22% during deep packet inspection workloads. The custom CP9 ASIC now processes IPSec VPN traffic at 3.7 Gbps – 15% faster than FortiOS 6.4.14.

​​3. SD-WAN Service Enhancements​​
Implements dynamic path selection algorithms that reduce VoIP jitter by 33% in multi-WAN configurations. Adds compatibility with Starlink satellite internet for remote site deployments.

​​4. Legacy System Support​​
Maintains backward compatibility with FortiSwitch 5.6.x firmware while resolving interoperability issues in LAG configurations reported in FortiOS 6.4.12.
