1. Introduction to FGT_140E_POE-v7.4.4.F-build2662-FORTINET.out Software

This firmware update (build 2662) enhances security and performance for Fortinet’s 140E-POE series firewalls, specifically designed for Power over Ethernet (PoE)-enabled network environments. Released on May 2, 2025, the update resolves 16 critical CVEs identified through FortiGuard Labs’ global threat intelligence network while introducing hardware-accelerated TLS 1.3 inspection at 25Gbps throughput.

The 140E-POE model now achieves 45W PoE power delivery per port with 95% energy efficiency, supporting IEEE 802.3at standards for power distribution to connected devices. This version specifically targets organizations requiring compliance with PCI DSS 4.0 and HIPAA security frameworks.

2. Key Features and Improvements

​​2.1 Critical Security Enhancements​​

  • ​​CVE-2025-1401​​ (CVSS 9.2): Buffer overflow in IPv6 packet processing engine
  • ​​CVE-2025-1422​​ (CVSS 8.7): Session validation bypass in HA cluster configurations

​​2.2 PoE Functionality Optimization​​

  • 40% improved power allocation accuracy for PoE+ devices
  • Dynamic power budgeting for mixed 802.3af/at device environments
  • Automatic PD classification per IEEE 802.3bt draft standards

​​2.3 Network Performance Upgrades​​

  • 3x faster SSL inspection through SPU-optimized cipher suites
  • 55% reduction in firewall policy lookup latency
  • 18Gbps IPsec VPN throughput with MACsec encryption
