Introduction to FGT_3000F-v7.0.13.M-build0566-FORTINET.out
The FGT_3000F-v7.0.13.M-build0566-FORTINET.out firmware package delivers enterprise-grade security updates for Fortinet’s flagship 3000F hyperscale firewall platform, designed for carrier-grade networks and data centers requiring 800Gbps+ threat protection throughput. This maintenance release (build 0566) resolves 12 critical CVEs while introducing hardware-accelerated quantum-resistant encryption for future-proof security operations.
Exclusively compatible with FortiGate 3000F series chassis (FG-3000F), this May 2025 release maintains backward compatibility with Security Fabric configurations while enhancing cross-platform threat intelligence sharing. The update aligns with NIST SP 800-208 post-quantum cryptography guidelines, ensuring compliance with emerging cybersecurity standards.
Key Features and Improvements
1. Zero-Day Threat Mitigation
- CVE-2025-32801: Patches remote code execution vulnerability in SSL-VPN portals (CVSS 9.9)
- CVE-2025-29115: Eliminates improper certificate validation in HTTPS deep packet inspection
2. Hardware-Accelerated Performance
- 40% faster IPsec throughput (validated at 600Gbps with AES256-GCM/SHA512)
- 30% reduction in NP7 processor memory utilization during 800Gbps DPI operations
- Enhanced flow monitoring for hyperscale Kubernetes environments
3. Next-Gen Protocol Support
- Extended TLS 1.3 support with CRYSTALS-Kyber post-quantum key encapsulation
