Introduction to Cisco_Firepower_Mgmt_Center_Patch-6.7.0.1-13.sh.REL.tar

The ​​Cisco_Firepower_Mgmt_Center_Patch-6.7.0.1-13.sh.REL.tar​​ is a critical security update package for Firepower Management Center (FMC) 6.7.x deployments. Released on March 15, 2025, this cumulative patch addresses multiple Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures (CVEs) identified in previous FMC versions, including critical fixes for XML parser vulnerabilities and TLS 1.3 implementation flaws.

Designed for both physical appliances (FMC 1600/2600/4600 series) and virtual instances (FMCv300), this patch maintains backward compatibility with Firepower Threat Defense (FTD) 6.6.x+ devices while introducing mandatory security hardening for hybrid cloud deployments. The update implements SHA-512 firmware signature verification to prevent unauthorized code execution during policy synchronization.
