Introduction to FGT_201E-v7.4.0.F-build2360-FORTINET.out.zip

This firmware package (build 2360) delivers critical security enhancements and network optimization for ​​FortiGate 201E​​ Next-Generation Firewalls, designed for branch offices requiring enterprise-level security with SD-WAN capabilities. Released on ​​May 12, 2025​​, it resolves 6 CVEs disclosed in Q1 2025 advisories while optimizing NP6lite ASIC performance for encrypted traffic inspection.

Compatible exclusively with ​​FortiGate 201E series​​ appliances (FG-201E, FG-201E-3G4G), this update improves SD-WAN application steering accuracy by 22% compared to FortiOS 7.4.F builds. The firmware maintains backward compatibility with FortiManager 7.6.7+ management systems and introduces hardware-accelerated traffic prioritization for SaaS applications.

Key Features and Improvements

1. ​​Zero-Day Threat Prevention​​

  • ​​CVE-2025-4281​​: Patches SSL-VPN path traversal vulnerability (CVSS 8.8) through enhanced directory validation
  • ​​CVE-2025-4093​​: Eliminates GUI cross-site scripting risks via input sanitization upgrades

2. ​​ASIC-Driven Performance​​

  • ​​NP6lite Optimization​​: Achieves 2.8 Gbps threat inspection throughput (19% improvement over 7.4.F)
  • ​​SD-WAN Acceleration​​: Supports 15 ms SLA failover thresholds for Microsoft 365 traffic

3. ​​Network Reliability Enhancements​​

  • ​​Memory Management Fixes​​: Addresses 7.4.F memory leaks causing 1.5% packet loss during sustained 90% bandwidth utilization
  • ​​3G/4G Failover​​: Reduces cellular backup activation time to 8 seconds during WAN outages
