​​Introduction to FGT_60D-v5-build1225-FORTINET-5.4.12.out​​

This firmware package (build 1225) delivers critical security patches and performance optimizations for FortiGate 60D next-generation firewalls running FortiOS 5.4.12. Designed for enterprise network security, it addresses 23 CVEs identified in prior versions, including SSL-VPN vulnerabilities requiring immediate remediation. Compatible exclusively with FortiGate 60D hardware, this release strengthens threat prevention while maintaining backward compatibility with configurations from FortiOS 5.2.x.

Released in Q4 2017 based on historical Fortinet update patterns, it serves as a transitional update between major versions, offering extended support for legacy deployments. The *.out file format follows Fortinet’s standardized firmware naming convention:

  • ​​FGT_60D​​: Target hardware model
  • ​​v5-build1225​​: OS version and build number
  • ​​FORTINET-5.4.12​​: Full FortiOS versioning.
