Introduction to ffdb_fos62_00007.03487.pkg
The ffdb_fos62_00007.03487.pkg is a critical security and compliance update package for FortiGate firewalls running FortiOS 6.2. Released on May 10, 2025, this build (03487) addresses 14 CVEs identified in Q1 2025 Threat Intelligence Reports, including high-risk vulnerabilities in IPSec VPN processing and SSL deep inspection modules. Designed for enterprises requiring extended lifecycle support, it maintains compatibility with NIST CSF 2.0 and GDPR Article 32 requirements.
This update specifically targets FortiGate 100F/200F/300E series devices, enhancing threat detection accuracy by 27% through improved signature pattern matching algorithms. It introduces backward compatibility with legacy SD-WAN configurations deployed under FortiOS 6.0.x environments.
