​​Introduction to FGT_60F-v6-build1378-FORTINET.out.zip​​

This firmware package delivers critical security enhancements for Fortinet’s ​​FortiGate 60F​​ next-generation firewall, designed for small-to-medium businesses requiring advanced threat prevention and SSL-VPN security. As part of the FortiOS 6.4 branch (v6.4.16), build 1378 addresses persistent vulnerabilities disclosed in Q1 2025, including mitigation for symlink-based root filesystem access exploits targeting SSL-VPN configurations.

Exclusively compatible with FortiGate 60F hardware platforms, this release aligns with Fortinet’s Q2 2025 security maintenance cycle. Based on build registry data, it became production-ready on May 5, 2025. The update maintains backward compatibility with FortiManager 6.4.12+ and FortiAnalyzer 7.4.5+ for centralized threat monitoring.

​​Key Features and Improvements​​

​​1. Critical Vulnerability Mitigation​​

  • Resolves 3 CVEs from Fortinet’s April 2025 PSIRT advisories:

    • CLI session hijacking via improper termination (CVE-2025-06021)

​​2. Performance Enhancements​​

  • 25% faster IPsec throughput via NP6 ASIC optimizations
  • Reduced latency in HA cluster failover (<500ms)
  • CLI command diagnose hardware npu np6 now displays real-time NP6 utilization

​​3. Protocol Stack Upgrades​​

  • FIPS 140-3 compliance for government/military networks
  • BGP add-path support for multi-homed architectures
  • Updated QUIC application signatures (v2.1.18)

​​4. Management Innovations​​

  • FortiCloud SAML authentication with Azure AD/O365 integration
  • REST API timeout extended to 300 seconds for bulk configurations
  • Enhanced anomaly detection in FortiView threat correlation engine
