Introduction to ciscocm.CSCvp79158_C0039-3.cop.sgn
This critical security patch addresses vulnerabilities in Cisco Unified Communications Manager (CUCM) versions 12.5.1 and later, specifically targeting flaws in SIP (Session Initiation Protocol), MGCP (Media Gateway Control Protocol), and RTP (Real-Time Transport Protocol) implementations. Released on May 8, 2025, the COP (Cisco Options Package) file ciscocm.CSCvp79158_C0039-3.cop.sgn is digitally signed to ensure authenticity and aligns with Cisco’s Enhanced Security Advisory Program (ESAP) standards.
Designed for enterprises using CUCM clusters for IP telephony and video conferencing, this patch resolves four CVSS 7.0+ rated vulnerabilities that could allow denial-of-service (DoS) attacks or unauthorized call interception. Compatible systems include CUCM 12.5.1SU2, 14.0(1), and virtualized deployments on UCS C240 M7 servers running VMware ESXi 8.0U3+.
