Hundreds of thousands of FortiGate firewalls are vulnerable to a critical security issue identified as CVE-2023-27997, almost a month after Fortinet released an update that addresses the problem.

    I had to twist our IT guy’s arm to update after reading about this yesterday. Apparently he was waiting for a “convenient” time to do it for nearly 3 weeks. It took less than 3 minutes to update…

    Going into the office tomorrow because of exactly this. We’ve been needing to update for a while anyway.

    Patched a couple weeks ago. Makes for a nice couple days out of the office to get everything in the field.

    As one who has to manage an HA pair of PaloAltos AND Fortigates, the FortiUpgrade is just so stupid easy & quick. I don’t understand why people would wait longer than a week or two for the ‘bleeding edge’ people to test first.

    Then again, my configuration is so basic there’s not much to go wrong.

    I was happy to see the FortiCloud interface was updated recently, and pushing this update was about as easy as can be. I updated over 25 devices in a span of about 2 hours the other night and it all went without a hitch.
