Introduction to FGT_91E-v6-build1364-FORTINET.out Software

This firmware release (v6-build1364) delivers critical security updates and performance optimizations for FortiGate 90E series next-generation firewalls. As part of FortiOS 6.4.14 maintenance cycle, the build addresses 23 CVEs identified in Q4 2024 while introducing hardware-specific optimizations for entry-level enterprise appliances.

Compatible with all 90E models (FG-91E, FG-92E, FG-94E) manufactured after 2022, this version maintains backward compatibility with FortiOS 6.4.x configurations. The release became generally available on March 12, 2025, following 6 weeks of field testing across 1,200 production environments.

Key Features and Improvements

​​1. Critical Vulnerability Mitigation​​
Resolves CVE-2024-48704 (CVSS 9.8) – memory corruption vulnerability in SSL-VPN portal
Patches CVE-2024-48822 (CVSS 9.1) – improper authentication in SAML SSO implementation

​​2. Hardware-Specific Enhancements​​

  • 18% improvement in IPsec throughput (950Mbps → 1.12Gbps) on FG-94E models
  • Reduced memory consumption in UTM inspection workflows (max 1.2GB → 980MB)
  • Extended SSD lifespan through optimized logging algorithms (15% write reduction)

​​3. Management Upgrades​​

  • REST API response time improvements (300ms → 85ms avg)
  • FortiCloud synchronization reliability increased to 99.992%
  • Dual-stack IPv4/IPv6 support in SD-WAN orchestration

​​4. Extended Protocol Support​​

  • QUIC protocol analysis (v2 draft 14)
  • Post-quantum cryptography trial (CRYSTALS-Kyber768 implementation)
  • Enhanced BGP route validation (RFC 9234 compliance)
