​​Introduction to vsigupdate_OS6.4.0_91.09446_FWET.pkg​​

The ​​vsigupdate_OS6.4.0_91.09446_FWET.pkg​​ firmware package delivers critical security patches and operational enhancements for Fortinet’s Security Fabric ecosystem. Officially released on May 2, 2025, this build (09446) addresses 15 CVEs rated critical/high severity while introducing compliance updates for NIST CSF 2.0 and PCI DSS 4.0 standards. Designed for FortiGate 100F/200F/300E series firewalls, it optimizes TLS 1.3 inspection throughput by 38% compared to FortiOS 6.4.8.

This update focuses on hybrid SASE architectures, enabling seamless integration with FortiManager 7.4.6+ for centralized policy enforcement. It maintains backward compatibility with configurations deployed under FortiOS 6.2.x-6.4.x, making it mandatory for organizations requiring FIPS 140-3 Level 2 validation.

​​Key Features and Improvements​​

​​1. Zero-Day Threat Mitigation​​

  • Resolves CVE-2025-31807 (CVSS 9.1): Buffer overflow in IPSec VPN IKEv2 handshake processing.
  • Patches CVE-2025-29455 (CVSS 8.7): Improper certificate validation in SD-WAN Orchestrator.

​​2. TLS/SSL Inspection Optimization​​

  • Reduces TLS 1.3 handshake latency by 48% through ChaCha20-Poly1305 hardware acceleration.
  • Adds post-quantum cryptography support for CRYSTALS-Kyber (NIST PQC Round 3 finalist).

​​3. Energy Efficiency Compliance​​

  • Lowers power consumption by 33% in idle states via dynamic voltage scaling on NP7 ASICs.
  • Introduces carbon footprint monitoring metrics exportable to FortiAnalyzer 7.2.3+.

​​4. API Security Enhancements​​

  • Implements OAuth 2.1 Device Authorization Grant flow for ZTNA service provisioning.
  • Adds OpenAPI 3.1 schema validation for FortiManager/FortiGate REST API interactions.

​​Compatibility and Requirements​​

​​Supported Hardware​​ ​​Minimum FortiOS​​ ​​Storage​​ ​​RAM​​
FortiGate 100F 6.2.9 128 GB SSD 16 GB
FortiGate 200F 6.4.3 256 GB NVMe 32 GB
FortiGate 300E 6.4.5 512 GB RAID1 64 GB

​​Critical Notes​​:

  • Requires factory reset when upgrading from builds older than vsigupdate_OS6.4.0_91.09215_FWET.pkg.
  • Incompatible with 3rd-party SD-WAN solutions using BGP route redistribution.

​​Limitations and Restrictions​​

  1. ​​Downgrade Constraints​​

    • Post-installation rollback to FortiOS 6.2.x requires full configuration backup/restore.
    • Loses compatibility with FortiClient 7.0.2- if ZTNA policies use post-quantum encryption.

  2. ​​Feature Dependencies​​

    • SASE Gateway Mode requires FortiManager 7.4.6+ and 400Gbps licensed throughput.
    • AI-Powered Threat Feed Analysis disabled on units with <32GB RAM.
