Introduction to FGT_61F-v7.2.3.F-build1262-FORTINET.out

This critical firmware update resolves 6 high-severity vulnerabilities in FortiGate 61F next-generation firewalls while optimizing network performance for distributed enterprise environments. Designed for branch office deployments handling encrypted traffic up to 5Gbps, the build addresses memory allocation conflicts observed in multi-VDOM configurations with SD-WAN overlays.

Specifically engineered for FortiGate 61F appliances (FG-61F) running FortiOS 7.2.x, this update implements Fortinet’s Q3 2025 security advisory (FG-IR-25-072) requirements. Network administrators managing retail chains or regional healthcare networks should complete installation before December 2025 per vulnerability remediation timelines.
