Fortinet Fortigate Buffer over-read in FGFM (FG-IR-24-381)

low Nessus Plugin ID 235825

Synopsis

Fortinet Firewall is missing one or more security-related updates.

Description

The version of Fortigate installed on the remote host is prior to tested version. It is, therefore, affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the FG-IR-24-381 advisory.

 - A buffer over-read vulnerability [CWE-126] in FortiOS may allow a remote unauthenticated attacker to crash the FGFM daemon via a specially crafted request, under rare conditions that are outside of the attacker's control. (CVE-2025-47295)

Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

Solution

For 6.4.x, see vendor advisory. For 7.0.x, upgrade to Fortigate version 7.0.15 or later. For 7.2.x, upgrade to Fortigate version 7.2.8 or later. For 7.4.x, upgrade to Fortigate version 7.4.4 or later.
