Introduction 4

Introduction

This document provides information about new and enhanced features, installation instructions, resolved issues, and
known issues for FortiWeb 6.3.14, build 1162.
FortiWeb is a web application firewall (WAF) that protects hosted web applications from attacks that target known and
unknown exploits. Using multi-layered and correlated detection methods, FortiWeb defends applications from known
vulnerabilities and zero-day threats. The Web Application Security Service from FortiGuard Labs uses information based
on the latest application vulnerabilities, bots, suspicious URL and data patterns, and specialized heuristic detection
engines to keep your applications safe.
FortiWeb also offers a machine-learning function that enables it to automatically detect malicious web traffic. In addition
to detecting known attacks, the feature can detect potential unknown zero-day attacks to provide real-time protection for
web servers.
FortiWeb allows you to configure these features:
l Vulnerability scanning and patching
l IP reputation, web application attack signatures, credential stuffing defense, anti-virus, and FortiSandbox Cloud
powered by FortiGuard
l Real-time attack insights and reporting with advanced visual analytics tools
l Integration with FortiGate and FortiSandbox for ATP detection
l Behavioral attack detection
l Advanced false positive and negative detection avoidance
FortiWeb hardware and virtual machine platforms are available for medium and large enterprises, as well as for service
providers.

Upgrade instructions 8

Upgrade instructions

Image checksums

To verify the integrity of the firmware file, use a checksum tool to compute the firmware file’s MD5 checksum. Compare it
with the checksum indicated by Fortinet. If the checksums match, the file is intact.
MD5 checksums for software releases are available from Fortinet Customer Service & Support:
https://support.fortinet.com

To download the Customer Service & Support image checksum tool

After logging in to the website, in the menus at the top of the page, click Download, and then click Firmware Image
Checksums.
Alternatively, near the bottom of the page, click the Firmware Image Checksums button. This button appears only if
one or more of your devices has a current support contract. In the File Name field, enter the firmware image file name
including its extension, then click Get Checksum Code.

Upgrading from previous releases

To upgrade from versions earlier than 6.3.9, you need to upgrade to 6.3.9 first , then to
6.3.14.

If you are currently running 6.3.12, please upgrade to 6.3.13 immediately.


Version 6.3.12 has a potential issue when FortiWeb is deployed in HA mode and it is
now obsoleted.

l For FortiWeb-VM with a license purchased earlier than February 2019, you must upgrade
to 6.3.4 or higher. Do not use a lower patch.
l The VLAN, 802.3ad Aggregate, and Redundant interfaces are not supported anymore on
FortiWeb-VMs deployed on public cloud platforms since 6.3.6. If you upgrade from
versions earlier than that, these configurations will be removed.
l For FortiWeb-VM deployed in KVM environment, if you upgrade from 6.3.5 and earlier,
the HA active-active standard mode will be automatically switched to HA active-active
high volume mode after upgrade, and the related settings will be lost. You need to
manually re-configure them. We will fix this issue in 6.4.0.

For FortiWeb 6.3.9 and higher, upgrade directly.


For releases earlier than 6.3.9, upgrade to 6.3.9 first, then upgrade to 6.3.14.

The "Bad Robot" and "SQL Injection (Syntax Based Detection)" signatures had been
integrated into WAF modules "Bot Mitigation > Known Bots" and "SQL/XSS Syntax Based
Detection" since 6.3.3. If you upgrade from a version earlier than 6.3.3, all settings of these
two signatures will be merged to corresponding modules except the exception list.
Make sure to add the exception list manually after the upgrade, otherwise certain traffic will
be blocked unexpectedly because of the missing of the exception list.

To upgrade from FortiWeb 6.1.x and 6.2.x

Upgrade to 6.3.9 first, then upgrade to 6.3.14.


The machine learning data will be lost after the upgrade as the database format is enhanced in 6.3.0. Machine Learning
will automatically start collecting data again after the upgrade.

For FortiWeb-VM on docker platform, it's not supported to upgrade to 6.3.14 from versions
earlier than 6.3.0. You need to install FortiWeb-VM 6.3.14 instead of upgrading to 6.3.14. For
how to install, see FortiWeb-VM on docker.

The "Bad Robot" and "SQL Injection (Syntax Based Detection)" signatures had been
integrated into WAF modules "Bot Mitigation > Known Bots" and "SQL/XSS Syntax Based
Detection" since 6.3.3. If you upgrade from a version earlier than 6.3.3, all settings of these
two signatures will be merged to corresponding modules except the exception list.
Make sure to add the exception list manually after the upgrade, otherwise certain traffic will
be blocked unexpectedly because of the missing of the exception list.

To upgrade from FortiWeb 6.0 or 6.0.x

Upgrade to 6.3.9 first, then upgrade to 6.3.14.


After the upgrade:
l If you upgrade from 6.0, there might be database compatibility issue after the upgrade, because the MarisDB
database version is upgraded to 10.3.8 since FortiWeb 6.0.2.
l Run get system status to check the Database Status.
l If it shows Available, it means the database works well. If it shows Not Available, you need to run

execute db rebuild to solve the database compatibility issue. Please note in HA mode running execute
db rebuild on master appliance will take effect on all slaves simultaneously.
l If you upgrade from 6.0.1, it's not necessary to run execute db rebuild because the database format has
already been enhanced in 6.0.1, so that it's compatible with the new database.

Note: To upgrade from 4.0 MR4, Patch x or earlier, please contact Fortinet Technical Support.

Repartitioning the hard disk

To upgrade from a version of FortiWeb previous to 5.5, you must first resize your FortiWeb operating system's disk.
In most cases, you'll have to install a special firmware image to repartition the disk. For details, see To use the special
firmware image to repartition the operating system's disk on page 14.
For the following FortiWeb-VM tools, you cannot install the special firmware image to repartition the hard disk:

FortiWeb Release Notes Fortinet Technologies, Inc.


Upgrade instructions 14

l Citrix XenServer
l Open-source Xen Project
l Microsoft Hyper-V
l KVM
For these platforms, to repartition the disk you must deploy a new virtual machine and restore the configuration and log
data you backed up earlier. See To repartition the operating system's disk without the special firmware image on page
14.

Repartitioning affects the operating system’s disk (USB/flash disk), not the hard disk.
Existing data such as reports and event, traffic, and attack logs, which are on the
hard disk, are not affected.

You can use this image to upgrade an HA cluster by following the same procedure
you use for a regular firmware upgrade. For details, see "Updating firmware on an
HA pair" in the FortiWeb Administration Guide:
http://docs.fortinet.com/fortiweb/admin-guides

To use the special firmware image to repartition the operating system's disk

1. Perform a complete backup of your FortiWeb configuration.


Although the repartitioning firmware image automatically saves your FortiWeb configuration, Fortinet recommends
that you also manually back it up. For details, see the FortiWeb Administration Guide:
http://docs.fortinet.com/fortiweb/admin-guides
2. Contact Fortinet Technical Support to obtain the special repartitioning firmware image: special build 5.4.1, build
6066.
3. Follow one of the same procedures that you use to install or upgrade firmware using a standard image:
l In the Web UI, go to System > Status > Status. Locate the System Information widget. Beside Firmware

Version, click [Update].


l In the Web UI, go to System > Maintenance > Backup & Restore. Select the Restore option in System

Configuration.
l In the CLI, enter the execute restore config command.

FortiWeb backs up the current configuration, resizes the hard drive partitions, and boots the system.
Continue with the instructions in Upgrading from previous releases on page 8.

To repartition the operating system's disk without the special firmware image

1. Perform a complete backup of your FortiWeb configuration. For details, see the FortiWeb Administration Guide:

Upgrading an HA cluster

If the HA cluster is running FortiWeb 4.0 MR4 or later, the HA cluster upgrade is streamlined. When you upgrade the
active appliance, it automatically upgrades any standby appliance(s), too; no manual intervention is required to upgrade
the other appliance(s). This includes upgrading using the special hard disk repartitioning firmware image for upgrading to
5.5 or later from earlier releases.
If the HA cluster is running FortiWeb 4.0 MR3 Patch x or earlier, contact Fortinet Technical Support for assistance.

Downgrading to a previous release

When you downgrade to version 5.1 or 5.0, the basic configuration for your appliance's connections to the network (e.g.,
IP address and route configuration) is preserved.
Please note that the machine learning data will be lost if you downgrade to versions lower than 6.2.0. It cannot be
recovered because the database architecture is changed since 6.2.0.

FortiWeb-VM license validation after upgrade from pre-5.4 version

On some virtual machine deployments, upgrading FortiWeb-VM from a version previous to 5.4 changes the virtual
machine's universal unique identifier (UUID). Because of this change, the first time you upload your existing FortiWeb-
VM license, the FortiGuard Distribution Network (FDN) server reports that it is invalid.
To solve this problem, after you have uploaded the license, wait 90 minutes, and then upload the license again.
This issue does not affect FortiWeb-VM deployed on a VMware vSphere hypervisor.
