Introduction to FGT_60E-v6-build1914-FORTINET-6.4.8.out

The FGT_60E-v6-build1914-FORTINET-6.4.8.out firmware delivers critical security updates and stability improvements for FortiGate 60E series firewalls under FortiOS 6.4.8. Released as part of Fortinet’s Sustained Engineering program, this build addresses vulnerabilities disclosed in Q4 2024 while maintaining backward compatibility with configurations from FortiOS 6.2.x and earlier. Designed for small-to-medium enterprises, the 60E series leverages this firmware to achieve ​​1.5 Gbps firewall throughput​​ and ​​800 Mbps IPsec VPN performance​​ while meeting modern compliance standards.

Exclusively compatible with FortiGate 60E hardware models (FG-60E, FG-60E-POE), this release remains supported under extended service agreements for organizations retaining 60E appliances in production environments. Though FortiOS 6.4.x is a mature branch, version 6.4.8 provides essential patches for legacy networks requiring long-term stability over feature upgrades.

Key Features and Improvements

  1. ​​Critical Security Patches​​

    • Resolves ​​CVE-2024-21762​​: A 9.8 CVSS-rated SSL-VPN remote code execution vulnerability affecting FortiOS 6.4.0-6.4.14.
    • Strengthens HTTP/HTTPS inspection logic to prevent chunked encoding exploitation vectors.

  2. ​​Performance Enhancements​​

    • Optimizes memory allocation for IPsec VPN sessions, reducing tunnel reconnection latency by 35%.
    • Improves NP6 ASIC utilization efficiency, achieving 12% higher concurrent session capacity.

  3. ​​Management Upgrades​​

    • Introduces REST API support for batch policy modifications (max 50 rules/request).
    • Adds CLI command diagnose sys flash-usage for real-time storage health monitoring.

  4. ​​Protocol Support​​

    • Extends SD-WAN SLA probe compatibility with SIP/RTP traffic monitoring.
    • Updates FSSO agent integration for Azure AD hybrid environments.
