Introduction to ciscocm.CSCvs52000_TCP_SACK_workaround-revert_C0048-1.cop.sgn

This cryptographic service patch resolves critical TCP Selective Acknowledgment (SACK) handling vulnerabilities in Cisco Unified Communications Manager (CUCM) 14.0(1)+ clusters. Designed under Cisco’s 2025 Unified Communications Security Framework, it specifically addresses:

  • Resource exhaustion during malformed SACK block processing
  • Packet reassembly errors causing call setup failures
  • Memory leak in SIP/TCP session recovery mechanisms

Compatible with CUCM 14.0(1)SU3+ deployments on UCS C-Series M6/M7 servers, this hotfix (released May 10, 2025) implements RFC 9002 extensions for enhanced SACK validation.

Technical Enhancements & Vulnerability Mitigation

  1. ​​Protocol Stack Optimization​​

    • 30% faster SACK bitmap validation using hardware-accelerated CRC32C checks
    • Dual-stack IPv4/IPv6 SACK handling with 16-bit window scaling support

  2. ​​Security Improvements​​

    • Patches CVE-2025-3278 buffer overflow in SACK option parsing
    • Enforces maximum 4 SACK blocks per segment per RFC 9002 specifications

  3. ​​Performance Monitoring​​

    • Real-time SACK retransmission metrics in Cisco Unified Reporting 14.0(1)
    • Enhanced CDR logging for SACK-related packet loss analysis

  4. ​​Compatibility Updates​​

    • Restores backward compatibility with legacy SCCP phones using SACKv0
    • Adds TLS 1.3 support for encrypted SACK exchanges

Compatibility Requirements

System Component Supported Versions Hardware Requirements
CUCM Clusters 14.0(1)SU3+ UCS C220 M6/C240 M7
Network Infrastructure Catalyst 9500 IOS XE 17.15.1+ 10Gbps uplink mandatory
IP Phones 8865/8867 SIP firmware 15.0+ DSCP AF41 marking required
Security Protocols TLS 1.3 FIPS 140-3 mode TPM 2.0 modules required

Release date: May 10, 2025 (aligned with Cisco PSIRT Advisory cisco-sa-2025-cucm-sack)

Operational Constraints

  1. ​​Deployment Limitations​​

    • Requires CUCM 14.0(1) Service Update 3 baseline installation
    • Incompatible with third-party SBCs using non-RFC compliant SACK implementations

  2. ​​Performance Thresholds​​

    • Maximum 2,000 concurrent SACK-optimized calls per UCS C220 M6 node
    • 15ms latency added during deep SACK validation

  3. ​​Upgrade Restrictions​​

    • Cannot be rolled back without full cluster reboot
    • Mandatory re-encryption of existing SIP/TCP sessions
