Technical Description
Two vulnerabilities were identified in FortiGate, which could be exploited by remote attackers to bypass security policies.
The first issue is due to an error in the URL blocking functionality that fails to properly filter specially crafted HTTP requests terminated by the CR character instead of CRLF, or malformed HTTP/1.0 requests with no host header, which could be exploited by attackers to bypass security restrictions.
The second flaw is due to an error in the virus scanning functionality that fails to properly scan files sent over FTP under certain conditions.
