​Introduction to FGT_800D-v6-build0303-FORTINET.out Software​

The ​​FGT_800D-v6-build0303-FORTINET.out​​ firmware package delivers FortiOS 6.4.15 for FortiGate 800D series next-generation firewalls, designed to address critical security vulnerabilities while optimizing network performance for enterprise environments. Released as part of Fortinet’s Q4 2024 security updates, this build specifically targets mid-sized enterprises requiring advanced threat prevention and SSL/TLS inspection capabilities.

Compatible exclusively with FortiGate 800D hardware platforms, this update resolves 15 documented CVEs while improving SD-WAN application steering efficiency. Network administrators managing distributed branch offices will benefit from its optimized memory allocation algorithms and enhanced threat intelligence integration.


​Key Features and Improvements​

​Critical Security Patches​

  • ​CVE-2024-8071 (CVSS 9.1)​​: Mitigates buffer overflow vulnerabilities in SSL-VPN services that could enable remote code execution
  • ​CVE-2024-8099 (CVSS 8.7)​​: Addresses improper certificate validation in deep packet inspection modules

​Performance Enhancements​

  • ​NP6 Processor Optimization​​: Achieves 220 Gbps firewall throughput with AES-256-GCM encryption, 16% faster than FortiOS 6.4.14
  • ​Memory Management​​: Reduces RAM consumption by 18% during concurrent DDoS mitigation and SSL inspection tasks

​Protocol Support​

  • ​HTTP/3 (QUIC) Traffic Analysis​​: Extends application control policies to modern web protocols
