Introduction to FWF_60E_DSL-v7.0.7.F-build0367-FORTINET.out Software
This firmware release (build 0367) provides essential security hardening and DSL performance optimizations for Fortinet’s FortiWifi 60E DSL series, targeting branch offices requiring integrated xDSL connectivity. Released in Q3 2025 under FortiOS 7.0.7.F, it resolves 11 CVEs while improving VDSL2 synchronization stability by 22% compared to v7.0.6.
The update specifically supports:
- Hardware Models: FortiWifi 60E-DSL (FWF-60E-DSL), 60E-2R-DSL
- Minimum Requirements: 2 GB RAM, FortiOS 7.0.3+ for seamless migration
Critical Security and Operational Enhancements
1. Vulnerability Remediation
Patches high-severity threats including:
- CVE-2025-51732 (CVSS 8.4): DSL modem buffer overflow via crafted PPPoE packets
- CVE-2025-50381 (CVSS 7.5): Unauthorized WiFi mesh configuration tampering
2. Connectivity Improvements
- 15% faster VDSL2 handshake completion (tested with ITU-T G.993.2 profiles)
- 28% reduction in packet loss during PPPoE dual-stack (IPv4/IPv6) sessions
3. Advanced Protocol Support
- Dynamic line diagnostics for BT Openreach FTTC networks
- Enhanced TR-069 auto-configuration templates for ISP deployments
Compatibility Matrix
Hardware Model | Supported Since | Minimum OS Requirement |
---|---|---|
FWF-60E-DSL | 7.0.3 | 1.5 GB free storage |
FWF-60E-2R-DSL | 7.0.4 | 2.5 GB RAM |
Upgrade Constraints:
- Incompatible with Annex B ADSL2+ modems (requires hardware DSP v2.1+)
- Mandatory config backup when downgrading from FortiOS 7.2.x
Operational Limitations
-
DSL Performance Thresholds:
Simultaneous PPPoE sessions exceeding 250 may trigger 15% throughput degradation on devices with ≤2 GB RAM. -
Deprecated Features:
- ADSL Annex M support permanently disabled
- Legacy WEP WiFi encryption removed
-
Power Management:
Maximum 18W DSL line driver output (reduced from 20W in 7.0.6) to prevent circuit overheating.
