The WAD daemon crash is likely related to the logging feature enabled on the FortiGuard WebFilter Categories configuration under the web filter profile. Refer to the configuration given below.
config webfilter profile edit <n>
This is applicable especially when the crashlog is accompanied by a session which is handled by Web filter UTM profile. See below:

Workaround: Disable logging for each filter entry or identify the FortiGuard category entry responsible for the crash by examining the crash log and web filter event logs. To find the filter ID associated with the category ID, refer to Technical Tip: How to check the web filtering categories corresponding to the category ID.
