Introduction to FGT_80D-v6-build1175-FORTINET.out
This firmware release delivers critical infrastructure hardening for FortiGate 80D firewalls operating on FortiOS 6 platform. Designed to address emerging cybersecurity threats, build 1175 specifically targets SSL-VPN path traversal vulnerabilities and enhances IPSec VPN session stability – urgent updates given recent exploitation patterns of network perimeter devices.
Compatible exclusively with FortiGate 80D appliances, the firmware requires a minimum baseline version of FortiOS 6.2.9 (build 1021) for seamless installation. While official release dates remain undisclosed, telemetry from FortiGuard Security Fabric suggests this build entered phased deployment in Q2 2025.
