Fortinet FortiOS <= 6.2.5 / 6.4 <= 6.4.2 Traffic Bypass (FG-IR-20-172)

high Nessus Plugin ID 147661

Language:

Synopsis

The remote host is affected by a traffic bypass vulnerability.

Description

The remote host is running a version of FortiOS prior or equal to 6.2.5, or 6.4 prior to 6.4.3. It is, therefore, affected by a traffic bypass vulnerability. When traffic other than HTTP/S (eg: SSH traffic, etc...) traverses the FortiGate in version below 6.2.5 and below 6.4.2 on port 80/443, it is not redirected to the transparent proxy policy for processing, as it doesn't have a valid HTTP header.

Solution

Upgrade to Fortinet FortiOS version to 6.4.3 or later.
