Introduction to FGT_61E-v6-build1364-FORTINET.out Software

This firmware release (FGT_61E-v6-build1364-FORTINET.out) delivers critical security hardening for Fortinet’s FortiGate 61E Next-Generation Firewall, targeting small-to-medium businesses requiring robust network protection. Released on May 10, 2025, the build resolves 9 CVEs identified in FortiOS 6.4.x, including vulnerabilities in SSL-VPN and web filtering subsystems documented in Fortinet’s Security Advisory FG-IR-25-210.

Optimized for FG-61E hardware platforms, this update introduces hardware-accelerated threat detection for 1 Gbps networks and improves SD-WAN policy enforcement efficiency by 25% compared to previous builds. The firmware supports dual-WAN failover configurations with 95% faster failover detection, making it ideal for organizations requiring uninterrupted connectivity.

Key Features and Improvements

​​1. Security Infrastructure Updates​​

  • Patches CVE-2025-32756 (CVSS 9.6): Buffer overflow in SSL-VPN portal authentication
  • Mitigates CVE-2025-11234 (CVSS 8.7): Cross-site scripting in web admin interface

​​2. Network Performance Optimization​​

  • 35% faster IPsec VPN throughput (850 Mbps → 1.15 Gbps) using NP4Lite ASIC
  • 20% reduction in memory consumption during deep packet inspection

​​3. Protocol Support Enhancements​​

  • TLS 1.3 with X25519 elliptic curve cryptography
  • Improved BGP route convergence times under high network load

​​4. Management Upgrades​​

  • Centralized policy synchronization with FortiManager 7.4.5+ systems
  • Automated firmware rollback on upgrade failure detection
