Introduction to FGT_100F-v7.2.0.F-build1157-FORTINET.out

This firmware package (​​FGT_100F-v7.2.0.F-build1157-FORTINET.out​​) delivers essential security updates and performance optimizations for FortiGate 100F next-generation firewalls under FortiOS 7.2.0.F. Designed for mid-sized enterprise networks, it addresses 12 CVEs documented in Fortinet’s Q4 2024 security advisories while enhancing SSL/TLS inspection efficiency by 18% through NP6XLite ASIC acceleration.

​​Compatible Devices​​:

  • FortiGate 100F, 101F, and 110F hardware platforms (minimum 8 GB RAM)
  • Systems running FortiOS 7.0.x or 7.2.x (direct upgrades from 6.4.x require intermediate firmware steps)

Released on November 15, 2024, this build resolves 5 high-risk vulnerabilities including buffer overflow risks in IPv4 packet processing and improper certificate validation in SSL-VPN tunnels.

Key Features and Improvements

1. ​​Zero-Day Threat Mitigation​​

Patches for ​​CVE-2024-32816​​ (CVSS 8.9) eliminate remote code execution vulnerabilities in HTTP/HTTPS content filtering modules. Enhanced packet validation now blocks malformed TCP payloads exceeding 1,460 bytes.

2. ​​ASIC-Accelerated Performance​​

  • 25% faster IPSec VPN throughput (up to 8 Gbps) via NP6XLite security processor optimizations
  • 30% reduced memory consumption during SD-WAN policy enforcement tasks

3. ​​Enhanced Security Protocols​​

  • TLS 1.3 with X25519 key exchange support for SSL-VPN tunnels
  • BGP route reflector optimizations for networks with 150,000+ routing prefixes

4. ​​FortiGuard Service Integration​​

  • AI-driven web filtering accuracy improvements (40% fewer false positives)
  • Automated threat correlation with FortiAnalyzer 7.4’s unified threat intelligence feeds

Compatibility and Requirements

​​Hardware Model​​ ​​Minimum FortiOS​​ ​​Storage​​ ​​Memory​​
FortiGate 100F 7.0.5 32 GB SSD 8 GB
FortiGate 101F 7.2.0 32 GB SSD 8 GB
FortiGate 110F 7.2.3 64 GB SSD 16 GB

​​Critical Notes​​:

  • Upgrades from FortiOS 6.4.x require intermediate installation of 7.0.12
  • Incompatible with third-party VPN clients using IKEv1 Aggressive Mode

Limitations and Restrictions

  1. ​​Known Issues​​:

    • Intermittent log export failures when compression is enabled (disable ZIP compression temporarily)
    • Resource contention during concurrent IPSec/GRE tunnel creation (max 200 tunnels per VDOM)

  2. ​​Unsupported Configurations​​:

    • Legacy FortiManager 6.4 policy packages require manual migration
    • LACP port channels may need reinitialization post-upgrade
