​Introduction to FGT_90D-v6-build0335-FORTINET-6.0.9.out Software​

This firmware package (build 0335) delivers FortiOS 6.0.9 for FortiGate 90D next-generation firewalls, released in Q4 2020 as a critical security maintenance update. Designed for small-to-medium business networks requiring extended firmware lifecycle support, it addresses 5 CVEs disclosed in 2020 while maintaining backward compatibility with legacy network protocols.

Exclusively compatible with the 90D hardware platform (FGT-90D), this release focuses on vulnerability mitigation for organizations managing payment processing systems or industrial control networks requiring TLS 1.0/1.1 preservation. The final build passed FortiGuard Labs certification on October 15, 2020.
