Introduction to FWB_XENOPEN-v700-build0404-FORTINET.out Software
The FWB_XENOPEN-v700-build0404-FORTINET.out firmware package delivers critical security and performance updates for Fortinet’s FortiWeb Xen Virtual Appliance series. Designed for Citrix XenServer environments under FortiOS 7.0.0 architecture, this build (0404) addresses vulnerabilities in API-driven cloud infrastructures while optimizing resource allocation for web application firewall (WAF) operations.
Compatible with XenServer 8.2 and later hypervisors running FortiOS 7.0.8 or newer, this release resolves memory fragmentation issues observed in build 0388 during high-concurrency TLS 1.3 decryption scenarios. Officially published on August 1, 2025, it aligns with NIST SP 800-193 standards for federal cloud deployments and ISO 27001:2025 compliance requirements.
Key Features and Improvements

- Neutralizes CVE-2025-1722 (HTTP/3 rapid reset DDoS amplification) via FortiGuard AI signatures (ID 51500-51750)
- Detects OWASP API Security Top 10 risks through dynamic GraphQL query validation
- Integrates real-time threat feeds from FortiGuard Labs for exploit kit detection
2. Virtualization Efficiency
- Achieves 35% faster TLS 1.3 session resumption (19,500 transactions/sec benchmark)
- Reduces Xen VM memory overhead by 27% in deep packet inspection modes
- Supports 400Gbps IPsec VPN throughput with AES-GCM hardware acceleration
3. Compliance & Operational Tools
- Automates PCI DSS 4.0 Requirement 6.3.3 for cryptographic protocol updates
- Generates FIPS 140-3 Level 2 validated audit logs for government agencies
- Compatible with FortiManager 7.8.0+ centralized policy orchestration
