Introduction to FGT_VM64_HV-v7.0.15.M-build0632-FORTINET.out.hyperv.zip

This virtualization package provides FortiOS 7.0.15 Maintenance Release (build 0632) for FortiGate VM64 instances optimized for Microsoft Hyper-V environments. Released in May 2025 under Fortinet’s quarterly security update cycle, it addresses 12 documented CVEs while enhancing east-west traffic inspection and resource allocation efficiency in hybrid cloud deployments. Designed for enterprises leveraging Hyper-V for network segmentation, the update prioritizes healthcare IoT environments and financial transaction systems requiring FedRAMP-compliant encryption.

Exclusively compatible with ​​Microsoft Hyper-V 2019/2022​​ and ​​Azure Stack HCI 22H2+​​, this 74.1MB package follows Fortinet’s “M-build” designation for mid-cycle stability updates. System architects managing nested virtualization or multi-tenant SD-WAN architectures should prioritize deployment within 24 hours of availability.

​​1. Security Enhancements​​

  • Mitigates memory corruption vulnerability (CVE-2025-32799, CVSS 9.0) in SSL-VPN web portal authentication
  • Patches improper session validation (CVE-2025-31430) affecting SD-WAN orchestrator configurations
  • Implements FIPS 140-3 Level 2 compliance for government cloud deployments

​​2. Hyper-V Performance Optimization​​

  • 35% faster vNIC throughput using SR-IOV passthrough mode (validated with Mellanox ConnectX-6 adapters)
  • Dynamic memory scaling support up to 48GB without service interruption
  • <0.1% packet loss during live VM migration events

​​3. Management & Automation​​

  • Azure Arc integration for unified hybrid cloud monitoring dashboards
  • CLI command diagnose hyperv resource-utilization for real-time CPU/memory tracking
  • Automated snapshot rotation with 14-day retention policy

​​4. Protocol Support​​

  • TLS 1.3 inspection with ECH (Encrypted Client Hello) bypass capability
  • BGP EVPN route redistribution improvements for multi-tenant environments
  • VXLAN-GPE encapsulation support for 5G network slicing
