Fortigate SSL inspection produces corrupt file downloads.

I can't download a working setup of VS Code from the page https://code.visualstudio.com/ because Fortigate replaces a small block from the files with zero bytes.

 

The file comes from URL: https://az764295.vo.msecnd.net/stable/4e9361845dc28659923a300945f84731393e210d/VSCodeSetup-x64-1.26....

 

After download, the setup returns crc32 error. The digital signatures (file properties) says invalid certificate.

If I download the file without fortigate certificate replace (deep ssl) the file is correct.

 

A comparison of the two files (downloaded with and without fortigate) in a hex editor shows at Offset 0xFFE28 is a block of length 432 of zeros bytes replaced from fortigate. Range 0xFFE28 - 0xFFFD7.

 

This code block:

Is removed by fortigate by 0x00 for each byte.

 

Why? Fortigate eats a hole in the file?

 

Update: 

This also happens with other downloads. e.g. Unity Asset Store. (Not all packages. Try the package "post processing stack"). 

It removes a shorter block by 0x00. Weird. I have no idea where's the problem.

Hi Domvel and Wayne1,

 

There are 2 known corrupted issues that have been fixed in 6.0.3 which has ipsengine 4.00025 built in. Please give it a try.

 

Thanks.

Use the cli-cmd  diag debug flow and inspect what the firewall is doing would the 1st guess. What is the firewall doing  ( proxy , file inspection,etc....)

It's the SSL Inspection. If I turn it off, it works. I can't see any logs for this issue.

In the console or CLI, can see the versions info needed to replicate the bug, type:

 

get system status

 

diagnose autoupdate versions

 

Also the matching firewall policy and the utm profiles enabled for the affected traffic.

 

Did a quick test on the latest FOS v6 and md5sum of ssl deep inspection enabled/disabled are the same.

Same problems here with 6.0.2. It happens only with Full SSL Inspection profile.
