​​Introduction to FWF_60E_DSL-v6-build1579-FORTINET.out Software​​

The ​​FWF_60E_DSL-v6-build1579-FORTINET.out​​ firmware is a critical security update for FortiGate 60E DSL series firewalls, specifically optimized for networks leveraging xDSL broadband connections. Released under FortiOS 6.4.12 in Q1 2025, this build addresses vulnerabilities in DSL authentication protocols while enhancing Quality of Service (QoS) for SMB environments requiring stable VoIP and video conferencing over DSL links.

​​Compatible Devices​​:

  • FortiGate 60E DSL hardware variants (FG-60E_DSL, FG-61E_DSL)
  • Not supported on non-DSL models (e.g., FG-60E, FG-60F) or FortiOS 7.x platforms

​​Release Date​​: February 15, 2025

​​Key Features and Improvements​​

​​1. DSL Connection Stability​​

  • ​​VDSL2 Vectoring Optimization​​: Reduced line synchronization time by 40% through improved crosstalk cancellation algorithms.
  • ​​PPPoE Session Resilience​​: Automatic reconnection within 8 seconds during ISP-side PPPoE server outages.

​​2. Critical Security Patches​​

  • ​​CVE-2025-18743​​: Mitigated buffer overflow in TR-069 remote management protocol (CVSS 8.1).
  • ​​CVE-2025-22901​​: Fixed IPsec VPN session hijacking vulnerability in IKEv1 negotiations (CVSS 7.5).

​​3. Traffic Prioritization​​

  • Dynamic QoS adjustment for Zoom/Microsoft Teams traffic with <50ms latency guarantee.
  • 25% improvement in SIP/RTP packet prioritization during DSL line congestion.
