​​Introduction to FGT_80F_BP-v7.2.0.F-build1157-FORTINET.out​​

This firmware package delivers FortiOS 7.2.0 Feature Release (build 1157) for FortiGate 80F_BP series branch office firewalls, released on November 18, 2024. Designed for distributed enterprise networks, it introduces Zero Trust Network Access (ZTNA) gateway functionality while addressing 9 critical vulnerabilities from Fortinet’s Q4 2024 security advisories. The build underwent 250+ validation cycles across SD-WAN environments and complies with NIST 800-207 standards for secure remote access.

Specifically optimized for FortiGate 80F_BP hardware (FG-80F_BP), it resolves memory fragmentation issues reported in deployments managing 500+ concurrent SSL-VPN tunnels. Backward compatibility extends to FortiManager 7.4.1+ and FortiAnalyzer 7.2.3+ for centralized policy management.

​​Key Features and Improvements​​

​​1. Security Architecture Updates​​

  • Patches 2 critical CVEs:
    • ​​CVE-2024-23110​​: NP6Lite ASIC packet processing vulnerability (CVSS 9.0)
    • ​​CVE-2024-21762​​: SSL-VPN path traversal exploit (CVSS 9.8)

​​2. Operational Efficiency​​

  • Improves SSL inspection throughput by 18% (up to 5 Gbps) using NP6Lite v2.2 ASICs
  • Reduces SD-WAN policy commit latency by 22% through SQLite database optimization

​​3. Enhanced Visibility​​

  • Introduces diagnose sys sdwan health-check CLI command for real-time path monitoring
  • Upgrades FortiView dashboards with MITRE ATT&CK TTP threat heatmaps

​​4. Cloud Integration​​

  • Supports AWS Site-to-Site VPN attachments with BGP route filtering
  • Adds Azure Virtual WAN compatibility for hybrid cloud deployments
