Introduction to FGT_1801F-v7.4.1.F-build2463-FORTINET.out Software
This firmware delivers FortiOS 7.4.1 for the FortiGate 1801F Series, an enterprise-grade security platform engineered for hyperscale data centers requiring 400 Gbps threat protection throughput with 99.999% availability. Released in Q3 2025 (build 2463), it addresses 14 CVEs including critical vulnerabilities in SSL-VPN and IPSec implementations identified in Fortinet’s Q2 2025 security advisories. Designed for environments managing 100,000+ concurrent SSL/TLS sessions, this update introduces hardware-accelerated quantum-safe encryption and AI-driven traffic analysis.
Compatibility extends to FG-1801F and FG-1801F-DC dual-controller models running FortiOS 7.2+, specifically optimized for 400GE interface configurations. The firmware resolves CVE-2025-25471 (remote code execution vulnerability) disclosed in Fortinet’s July 2025 security bulletins.
