Introduction to FGT_200F-v6.M-build2060-FORTINET.out.zip
This maintenance release firmware delivers critical security hardening for Fortinet’s FortiGate 200F next-generation firewall platform, specifically optimized for distributed enterprise networks. Released under FortiOS 6.4.15 baseline on May 8, 2025, it addresses 12 CVEs identified in Q1 2025 while enhancing SD-WAN performance metrics. The update maintains backward compatibility with configurations from FortiOS 6.2.x through 6.4.x series, ensuring seamless policy migration for existing deployments.
Key Features and Improvements
1. Zero-Day Threat Mitigation
- Patches CVE-2025-30715 (CVSS 9.4): Memory corruption vulnerability in IPsec VPN termination
- Implements kernel-level exploit prevention for heap spray attacks
2. Hardware Optimization
- Achieves 92% utilization of Security Processing Unit (SPU) for TLS 1.3 bulk encryption
- Supports concurrent inspection of 15,000+ IPsec VPN tunnels with full UTM filtering
3. Operational Enhancements
- Reduces SD-WAN path failover latency to <150ms through optimized BGP route redistribution
- Adds NB-IoT protocol support for 5G-connected medical devices
4. Cloud Integration
- Enables automated synchronization with FortiGate Cloud Native Firewall (AWS/Azure)
- Supports zero-touch provisioning via FortiManager 7.6 REST API endpoints
