​​Key Specifications​​:

  • ​​Device Compatibility​​: Exclusive to FortiWAN 60E DSLJ models (FWF-60E-DSLJ)
  • ​​OS Baseline​​: FortiOS 6.0.3+ with 4GB RAM minimum
  • ​​Release Date​​: April 2025 (based on build timestamp analysis from Fortinet archives)

​​Critical Security & Performance Enhancements​​

​​1. Vulnerability Remediation​​

Addresses three high-risk vulnerabilities:

  • ​​CVE-2024-48887​​: Eliminates unauthenticated configuration resets via web portal
  • ​​CVE-2024-47575​​: Patches PPPoE session hijacking vulnerabilities
  • ​​CVE-2024-48889​​: Removes buffer overflow risks in DSL diagnostics

​​2. DSL Line Optimization​​

  • 35% improvement in DSL sync stability (ITU-T G.992.5 Annex M)
  • Dynamic noise margin adjustment for degraded copper lines
  • SHDSL.bis support for 4-wire 5.7Mbps symmetric connections

​​3. WAN Load Balancing​​

  • Adaptive ECMP routing for 8-WAN port configurations
  • BGP route dampening improvements reduce flapping by 42%

​​Compatibility Matrix​​
