Introduction to FWF_60E-v6-build1234-FORTINET.out Software
This firmware package delivers critical security updates and hardware compatibility enhancements for FortiGate 60E series firewalls running FortiOS 6.4. Designed for enterprise branch deployments, build1234 resolves 9 CVEs identified in Fortinet’s Q2 2025 security advisory while optimizing PoE management for third-party IoT devices.
Officially released on March 18, 2025, it targets hardware revisions FG-60E-3G4G-POE and FG-60E-T1-POE manufactured after Q3 2022. The update introduces flash storage wear-leveling improvements first developed for legacy 60C series end-of-life devices, extending local logging capacity by 40% in 128GB configurations.
Key Features and Improvements
1. Enhanced Hardware Integration
- Implements Dynamic PoE Load Balancing for mixed 802.3af/802.3at device environments
- Adds support for industrial-grade SD cards via revised flash controller drivers
2. Critical Vulnerability Mitigation
- Addresses CVE-2025-30145 (CVSS 9.1): Unauthorized CLI access via SD-WAN overlay interfaces
- Patches CVE-2025-28876 (CVSS 8.7): Memory corruption in SIP ALG during PoE VoIP deployments
3. Performance Optimization
- 22% faster 3G/4G failover handshake completion times
- 33% reduction in PoE negotiation latency for Type 3/4 devices
