Introduction to FGT_1800F-v7.2.4.F-build1396-FORTINET.out.zip

This enterprise-grade firmware delivers FortiOS 7.2.4F for FortiGate 1800F hyperscale firewalls, optimized for modern data centers requiring 80Gbps+ threat prevention throughput. Released under Fortinet’s Q2 2025 Feature Release Program, the build resolves 17 CVEs identified through FortiGuard Labs’ AI-driven threat intelligence, including critical SSL-VPN vulnerabilities impacting 300,000+ devices.

The 1800F platform receives enhanced NP7 ASIC optimizations, enabling 40% faster VXLAN packet processing compared to previous builds. Compatible with FortiManager 8.6.5+, this release supports zero-touch provisioning in hyperscale environments while maintaining <5% CPU utilization during 60Gbps SSL inspection.

Enterprise-Grade Security & Performance

​​Critical Vulnerability Remediation​​

  • Fixes CVE-2025-6881: Heap overflow in SSL-VPN web portal authentication module
  • Addresses CVE-2025-7312: IPsec IKEv2 memory corruption vulnerability
  • Upgrades FIPS 140-3 validated cryptographic modules to NIST SP800-56C rev2 standards

​​NP7 ASIC Accelerations​​

  • 55% faster VXLAN encapsulation/decapsulation (validated with 100,000 concurrent tunnels)
  • 35% reduced latency during 5G GTP-U traffic inspection

​​Operational Enhancements​​

  • FortiAnalyzer 8.4.6+ integration for unified threat correlation
  • REST API bulk policy deployment latency reduced to <2ms per rule
