Introduction to FGT_VM64_XEN-v6-build0268-FORTINET.out.CitrixXen.zip Software
This specialized firmware package delivers enterprise-grade security integration for FortiGate virtual appliances operating within Citrix XenServer 6.x virtualized environments. Validated through Fortinet’s virtualization QA process in Q2 2025, build 0268 resolves 14 CVEs while optimizing resource allocation for concurrent security processing and hypervisor management tasks.
The release targets XenServer 7.0+ hypervisors running FortiOS 6.4.14 through 6.4.18, maintaining backward compatibility with existing virtual switching configurations and resource pool architectures. This build introduces Xen-specific enhancements for SR-IOV passthrough acceleration and distributed security policy synchronization.
