Introduction to FGT_60E_DSLJ-v7.2.6.F-build1575-FORTINET.out Software
This firmware release (v7.2.6.F-build1575) delivers critical security updates and DSL performance optimizations for FortiGate 60E DSLJ series firewalls. Officially released in Q2 2025 under Fortinet’s security advisory FG-IR-25-022, it addresses 9 CVEs while enhancing xDSL modem stability for small office/home office (SOHO) deployments.
Designed specifically for FortiGate 60E DSLJ hardware, this update introduces VDSL2 vectoring improvements and reduces PPPoE connection latency by 35% compared to v7.2.5. Network administrators managing remote branch offices will benefit from its 18% faster threat detection throughput (measured at 950 Mbps with IPS enabled) and enhanced VoIP traffic prioritization algorithms.
Key Features and Improvements
1. Critical Vulnerability Remediation
- Patches CVE-2025-32762 (CVSS 8.8), a buffer overflow vulnerability in DSL modem management interfaces
- Resolves CVE-2025-30131 (CVSS 7.9), an authentication bypass flaw in captive portal guest networks
2. DSL Performance Optimization
- Increases VDSL2 sync rates by 12% through enhanced line diagnostics (ITU-T G.993.2 compliant)
- Reduces PPPoE connection establishment time to 2.1 seconds using optimized session management
3. Energy Efficiency Upgrades
- Lowers power consumption by 20% during idle states (measured at 8.7W @ 25°C ambient)
- Implements dynamic clock scaling for xDSL PHY chipsets
4. VoIP Quality Enhancements
- Adds SRVCC (Single Radio Voice Call Continuity) support for 5G/LTE failover scenarios
- Improves SIP ALG performance with 30% reduction in call setup latency
