​​Introduction to FGT_3001F-v7.4.3.F-build2573-FORTINET.out.zip​​

This firmware delivers FortiOS 7.4.3 for FortiGate 3001F series firewalls, addressing 11 documented CVEs while enhancing zero-trust network access (ZTNA) capabilities. Released on March 28, 2025 (build 2573), it resolves critical vulnerabilities exploited in recent attacks targeting public-facing management interfaces. Designed for enterprise networks requiring 100 Gbps threat protection throughput, the 3001F series supports hyperscale security architectures with 40 expansion slots and hardware-accelerated SSL inspection.

​​Key Features and Improvements​​

​​1. Security Vulnerability Remediation​​

  • ​​CVE-2024-21762 Mitigation​​: Eliminates unauthenticated RCE risks in SSL-VPN/web interfaces through enhanced HTTP payload validation.
  • ​​Symbolic Link Backdoor Removal​​: Patches persistent access vulnerabilities in language file directories used by threat actors since 2023.

​​2. Zero Trust Architecture​​

  • Enforces device posture checks for FortiClient endpoints
  • SAML 2.0 integration with Azure Active Directory and Okta

​​3. Performance Optimization​​

  • 25% faster IPsec throughput (up to 95 Gbps) using AES-NI acceleration
  • 35% reduced memory consumption for large-scale SD-WAN deployments

​​4. Protocol Support​​

  • TLS 1.3 enforcement with quantum-resistant NTRU Prime algorithms
  • QUIC application visibility in proxy mode
