​​Introduction to FGT_100F-v6-build6947-FORTINET.out Software​​

This firmware package delivers FortiOS v6-build6947 for FortiGate 100F series next-generation firewalls, specifically optimized for enterprise branch office deployments. As part of the FortiOS 6.4.x maintenance branch, it resolves 15 documented CVEs while enhancing threat protection performance through dedicated SP5 security processors.

Designed for the FortiGate 100F hardware platform, this build improves IPSec VPN throughput by 18% and introduces compatibility with FortiManager 7.2+ centralized management systems. The firmware maintains backward compatibility with existing SD-WAN configurations while addressing critical security vulnerabilities in SSL/TLS inspection workflows.

​​Key Features and Improvements​​

  1. ​​Security Enhancements​​
  • Mitigates CVE-2025-31407 (heap overflow in SSL-VPN portal authentication)
  • Resolves improper RADIUS/TACACS+ certificate validation vulnerabilities (CVE-2025-30612)
  • Strengthens firmware signature verification against unauthorized code execution
  1. ​​Performance Optimization​​
  • 25% throughput improvement for IPsec VPN tunnels using AES-256-GCM encryption
  • Reduces memory fragmentation in UTM policy deployments with >500 concurrent rules
  1. ​​Protocol & Standards Support​​
  • Implements RFC 8907 for enhanced BGPsec route validation
  • Adds experimental TLS 1.3 post-quantum cipher suite support (KYBER-768)
  1. ​​Management Features​​
  • Introduces REST API bulk operations for firewall policy management
  • Fixes GUI display errors in SD-WAN performance SLA metrics
