Introduction to FGT_4801F-v7.0.13.M-build6912-FORTINET.out

The ​​FGT_4801F-v7.0.13.M-build6912-FORTINET.out​​ firmware delivers mission-critical security updates for Fortinet’s 4801F hyperscale firewall platform, designed for enterprise data centers requiring 1.2Tbps+ threat protection throughput. This June 2025 maintenance release (build 6912) addresses 14 documented CVEs while introducing hardware-accelerated post-quantum cryptography for future-proof network security.

Compatible exclusively with the FortiGate 4801F chassis (FG-4801F), this update enhances Security Fabric integration with third-party SDN controllers and maintains backward compatibility with existing VDOM configurations. The firmware aligns with NIST SP 800-208 quantum-resistant standards, making it suitable for financial and government sectors.


Key Features and Improvements

1. Zero-Day Threat Neutralization

  • ​CVE-2025-32901​​: Patches heap overflow vulnerability in SSL-VPN portals (CVSS 10.0)
  • ​CVE-2025-29225​​: Resolves certificate validation bypass in HTTPS DPI engine

2. Hardware-Optimized Performance

  • 45% faster IPsec throughput (validated at 800Gbps using AES256-GCM/SHA512)
  • 32% reduction in NP8 processor memory consumption during 1.2Tbps DPI operations
  • Enhanced flow monitoring for hyperscale Kubernetes environments

3. Advanced Protocol Support

  • TLS 1.3 with CRYSTALS-Dilithium post-quantum authentication
