Description

Long lived sessions in Fortinet FortiGate devices with FortiOS 5.x before 5.4.0 could violate a security policy during IPS signature updates when the FortiGate's IPSengine is configured in flow mode. All FortiGate versions with IPS configured in proxy mode (the default mode) are not affected.
