Introduction to FGT_400F-v7.0.11.M-build0489-FORTINET.out.zip

This maintenance release delivers enterprise-grade security hardening and performance optimizations for FortiGate 400F series next-generation firewalls, specifically engineered for high-density 10Gbps+ network environments requiring NIST 800-53 Rev6 compliance. As part of FortiOS 7.0.11’s mature branch, it addresses 14 critical CVEs disclosed in Q4 2024 while introducing NP7 ASIC-accelerated TLS 1.3 decryption capabilities.

Compatible exclusively with FG-400F/401F/440F hardware variants, this build achieves 45% faster SSL inspection throughput compared to v7.0.10. The “M” designation confirms validation for financial sector deployments requiring FIPS 140-3 Level 2 compliance.

Key Features and Improvements

​​1. Zero-Day Threat Neutralization​​

  • Patches CVE-2024-48887 (CVSS 9.8): Remote code execution via crafted HTTP/3 QUIC streams
  • Mitigates CVE-2025-03175 (CVSS 8.9): Privilege escalation in SAML authentication workflow

​​2. Throughput Optimization​​

  • 80Gbps IPsec VPN throughput with NP7 ASIC hardware acceleration
  • 50% reduction in SSL inspection latency for 15k+ concurrent TLS 1.3 sessions

​​3. Advanced Protocol Support​​
