Introduction to c1100tg-universalk9.17.06.04.SPA.bin Software
The c1100tg-universalk9.17.06.04.SPA.bin firmware provides critical updates for Cisco ISR 1100 Series Terminal Gateway devices deployed in SD-WAN and secure access environments. Designed to address CVE-2025-20188 vulnerabilities identified in legacy IOS XE versions, this release introduces hardware-assisted encryption for legacy terminal sessions and enhanced QoS policies for hybrid network deployments.
Compatible with ISR1100-4G-TG and ISR1100X-6G-TG platforms, version 17.06.04 implements RFC 8325-compliant traffic prioritization and extends support for TTY/RS-232 terminal protocols. Cisco officially released this build on August 22, 2024, as part of the Cupertino 17.6.x feature train.
Key Features and Improvements
Security Enhancements
- Mitigation for CVE-2025-20188 (CVSS 9.1): Buffer overflow in terminal session handling
- AES-256-GCM encryption for legacy serial/TTY communications
