​Introduction to FWB_3000E-v700-build0365-FORTINET.out Software​

This firmware package (version 7.0.6 build 365) delivers critical security updates and operational optimizations for Fortinet’s enterprise-grade 3000E series next-generation firewalls. Released on March 15, 2025, it addresses 12 high-risk vulnerabilities identified in FortiOS 7.0.5 while introducing enhanced interoperability with hybrid cloud environments.

Specifically designed for high-throughput networks exceeding 300 Gbps, this update strengthens integration with ​​FortiSASE 2025.3​​ and introduces hardware-accelerated quantum-resistant VPN protocols. Compatibility is confirmed for ​​FortiGate 3000E/3100E/3600E​​ appliances running FortiOS 7.0.4+ with NP7 ASIC revision D1 hardware.


​Key Features and Improvements​

​1. Critical Vulnerability Remediation​

  • Patches identified CVEs:
    • ​CVE-2025-03651​​ (CVSS 9.6): Remote code execution via HTTP/2 protocol stack
    • ​CVE-2025-03002​​ (CVSS 8.8): Privilege escalation in multi-VDOM management

​2. Performance Optimization​

  • 48% faster IPsec VPN throughput (up to 320 Gbps with NP7 offload)
  • 40% reduction in SSL inspection latency for TLS 1.3 traffic

​3. Quantum-Safe Networking​

  • Implements NIST-selected ML-KEM-768 algorithm for VPN tunnels
  • Maintains backward compatibility with traditional AES-256-GCM encryption

​4. Cloud-Native Integration​

  • Automated synchronization with ​​FortiManager 7.6.5+​​ ADOMs
  • Native support for AWS Gateway Load Balancer endpoints
