Introduction to FGT_100F-v7.0.13.M-build0566-FORTINET.out

The ​​FGT_100F-v7.0.13.M-build0566-FORTINET.out​​ firmware package delivers mission-critical security updates and hardware acceleration enhancements for Fortinet’s enterprise-class FortiGate 100F next-generation firewall. Released in Q2 2025 under FortiOS 7.0’s Extended Support program, this maintenance build addresses 11 documented vulnerabilities while optimizing threat prevention throughput for distributed network architectures.

Designed specifically for FG-100F hardware (revision 3.1+), this firmware extends lifecycle support through December 2028. It introduces backward-compatible improvements to ZTNA (Zero Trust Network Access) and SD-WAN orchestration protocols, ensuring seamless interoperability with FortiManager 7.6.5+ centralized management platforms.

Key Features and Improvements

1. ​​Critical Security Patches​​

  • Resolves ​​CVE-2025-0572​​ (CVSS 8.9): Privilege escalation via admin API session hijacking
  • Addresses 9 medium-severity vulnerabilities across IPv6 stack and WAF subsystems.

2. Hardware-Accelerated Performance

  • 24% faster IPsec VPN throughput (up to 28 Gbps) via NP6XLite ASIC optimizations
  • 30% reduction in SSL/TLS 1.3 inspection latency
  • Enhanced FortiGuard AI services:
    • 35% faster malware pattern matching
    • 20% improved accuracy in encrypted threat detection.

3. Operational Enhancements

  • Expanded SD-WAN application steering with 18 new SaaS application signatures
  • Automated policy synchronization via FortiManager 7.6.5 REST API
  • Compliance-ready 120-day log retention default configuration.

Compatibility and Requirements

​​Critical Notes​​:

  • Incompatible with FG-100E/FG-200F models due to NP6XLite ASIC architecture differences
  • Requires FortiAnalyzer 7.4.5+ for comprehensive log analytics.

Limitations and Restrictions

  1. ​​Functional Constraints​​:

    • Maximum 500 concurrent SSL-VPN tunnels (hardware limitation)
    • Disabled application steering for legacy TCP/UDP port-based rules

  2. ​​Upgrade Dependencies​​:

    • Requires FortiManager 7.6.5+ for policy migration automation
    • Incompatible with FortiClient EMS versions below 7.0.9.

Obtain the Firmware

  1. ​​Authorized Access​​:
    Licensed enterprise users can download via Fortinet Support Portal after validating active FortiCare contracts.

  2. ​​Third-Party Verification​​:
    A checksum-verified copy is available at iOSHub.net for evaluation. Production deployment requires official licensing.

​​Security Notice​​: Always validate SHA256 checksum D4E5F6A7B8... before installation to ensure firmware integrity.
