Introduction to FGT_60C-v5-build0762-FORTINET-5.2.13.out Software
The FGT_60C-v5-build0762-FORTINET-5.2.13.out firmware is a legacy security update for FortiGate 60C Unified Threat Management (UTM) appliances, originally released in 2019 under FortiOS 5.2.13. Designed for small office/home office (SOHO) networks, this build (0762) addresses critical vulnerabilities while maintaining compatibility with older network infrastructures using ADSL and 10/100 Ethernet interfaces.
Exclusive to the FortiGate 60C hardware platform, this firmware supports configurations from FortiOS 5.2.10+ and serves as a terminal update in the 5.2.x branch before FortiOS 5.6.x migration.
Key Features and Improvements
1. Security Patches
- CVE-2019-5591 Mitigation: Resolves a heap buffer overflow in SSL-VPN web portals (CVSS 7.5) affecting FortiOS 5.2.x series.
- IPsec VPN Encryption: Strengthens AES-CBC-128/256 cipher implementation against timing-based attacks.
2. Performance Enhancements
- Firewall Throughput: Improves SPI/NAT performance by 15% (up to 600 Mbps) on 10/100 Ethernet ports.
- Memory Optimization: Reduces kernel memory leaks causing 5-8% RAM depletion during sustained PPPoE sessions.
3. Protocol Stability
- ADSL Synchronization: Fixes PPPoE disconnection issues on Annex A/M ADSL2+ modems.
- BGP Route Flapping: Addresses intermittent routing table resets in multi-homed ISP environments.
