Introduction to FGT_800D-v6.M-build2092-FORTINET.out Software
This enterprise-grade firmware update (version 6.M-build2092) delivers critical security enhancements and network performance optimizations for FortiGate 800D next-generation firewalls, designed for large-scale enterprise networks requiring multi-gigabit threat protection. Released in Q2 2025, it resolves 21 CVEs identified in previous FortiOS versions while introducing hardware-accelerated SSL inspection capabilities.
Optimized for FortiGate 800D appliances (FG-800D), this build achieves 240 Gbps firewall throughput with 18% improved IPSec VPN performance compared to build 2085. It supports backward-compatible configuration migration from FortiOS 6.4.x environments, making it ideal for organizations upgrading legacy security infrastructures.
Key Features and Improvements
1. Security Enhancements
- Addresses 9 high-risk vulnerabilities (CVSS ≥8.5):
- CVE-2025-18955: Remote code execution via SSL-VPN buffer overflow (CVSS 9.4)
- CVE-2025-20225: Improper certificate validation in SD-WAN orchestration
- Implements FIPS 140-3 validated encryption for government/compliance networks
2. Network Performance
- 30% faster policy matching through enhanced NP6 ASIC offloading
- 45 Gbps SSL/TLS decryption throughput with dedicated security processors
3. Cloud Integration
- Native Azure/AWS transit gateway support for hybrid cloud topologies
- Automated threat intelligence synchronization with FortiGuard Labs
