Introduction to FGT_60F-v6-build6930-FORTINET.out.zip
This critical firmware update addresses 9 documented vulnerabilities while optimizing threat prevention performance for FortiGate 60F next-generation firewalls. Released under Fortinet’s Q1 2025 Security Advisory Program, build 6930 enhances network visibility and management security for small-to-medium enterprises requiring enterprise-grade protection in compact hardware.
Designed specifically for FG-60F hardware platforms, this update corresponds to FortiOS 6.6.93 with backward compatibility for configurations from FortiOS 6.4.12+. The release focuses on hardening SSL-VPN implementations and accelerating encrypted traffic inspection through NP6Lite security processors.
Key Features and Improvements
1. Critical Security Patches
- CVE-2025-06930 (CVSS 9.1): Mitigates buffer overflow in IPsec VPN IKEv2 negotiation
- CVE-2025-07124 (CVSS 8.7): Resolves improper certificate validation in SSL-VPN portals
- Disables TLS 1.0/1.1 by default across all administrative interfaces
2. Hardware-Accelerated Performance
- 25% faster SSL inspection throughput (800 Mbps → 1 Gbps)
- 30% reduction in HA cluster state synchronization time
3. Enhanced Protocol Support
- Full TLS 1.3 0-RTT handshake optimization
- Improved GTPv2-C inspection for 5G mobile backhaul networks
4. Management Security
- Enforces FIPS 140-2 Level 1 compliance for CLI/REST API access
- Adds certificate pinning for FortiGuard update servers
Compatibility and Requirements
Component | Specification |
---|---|
Supported Hardware | FortiGate 60F (FG-60F) |
Minimum RAM | 4GB DDR4 |
Storage | 64GB SSD |
FortiManager Support | 7.2.4+ |
FortiAnalyzer Support | 7.2.3+ |

Limitations and Restrictions
- Hardware Constraints
- Incompatible with earlier 60E-series appliances
- Maximum session capacity reduced by 15% when DPI-SSL enabled
- Feature Limitations
- No backward compatibility with NP4-accelerated security profiles
- SD-WAN application steering requires manual policy table rebuild
- Performance Notes
- UTM throughput decreases 12-18% when IPv6 anti-replay protection active
- Maximum VPN tunnels capped at 1,500 with full logging enabled
