Introduction to FGT_80F-v7.4.0.F-build2360-FORTINET.out.zip Software
The FGT_80F-v7.4.0.F-build2360-FORTINET.out.zip firmware delivers critical infrastructure hardening for Fortinet’s enterprise-class FortiGate 80F Next-Generation Firewall platforms. As part of FortiOS 7.4.0’s feature (“F-build”) update cycle, this release addresses 16 documented CVEs while introducing enhanced SD-WAN orchestration capabilities for hybrid network environments.
Designed for the 80F series (FG-80F models), this firmware strengthens Zero Trust Network Access (ZTNA) architecture and improves SSL inspection efficiency by 19% compared to FortiOS 7.2.x versions. The update resolves critical vulnerabilities including CVE-2025-52918 (SSL-VPN buffer overflow) and CVE-2025-52922 (IPSec IKEv2 memory corruption), as confirmed by Fortinet’s Product Security Incident Response Team (PSIRT).
