The old Fortinet didn't recognize Loom's payload . But it recognized Loom's side effect : the way Loom tried to hide by reusing old, abandoned flow table entries. Modern firewalls had patched that bug years ago. Build 1262 still had the bug. And because it had the bug, it tripped over it and dropped the entire flow by accident.

The file "Fgt-vm64-kvm-v7.2.3.f-build1262-fortinet.out.kvm.qcow2" is essentially a virtual appliance image for a FortiGate Next-Generation Firewall (NGFW) running on 64-bit KVM hypervisors. It contains the operating system, configuration, and software for deploying a virtualized FortiGate appliance. Fgt-vm64-kvm-v7.2.3.f-build1262-fortinet.out.kvm.qcow2
Decoding the Fortinet Firewall Filename: What fgt-vm64-kvm-v7.2.3.f-build1262-fortinet.out.kvm.qcow2 Actually Means
Native inclusion of Fortinet’s Secure SD-WAN engine, advanced border gateway routing (BGP), OSPF protocols, and multi-tenant virtual domain partitioning (VDOMs). The old Fortinet didn't recognize Loom's payload
Typically defaults to virtio for optimal performance in KVM environments. ⚖️ Usage and Licensing
: Virtualized acceleration paths to optimize packet processing across virtual CPU threads. Prerequisites and System Requirements Build 1262 still had the bug
Understanding these fields is crucial for compatibility. For instance, attempting to load a qcow2 image designed for KVM into VMware or VirtualBox will result in a boot failure.
This is the specific build number ( 1262 ). Fortinet sometimes releases multiple builds of the same version (e.g., v7.2.3 vs v7.2.3.f-build1262 ). The build number is the source of truth for bug fixes.
