Introduction to cm-es-3-1-2-sr3.exe

This cryptographically signed security rollup package provides critical updates for Cisco Emergency Responder (CER) 3.1(2) systems deployed in enterprise emergency communication architectures. Designed for public safety networks, it addresses:

  • Zero-day vulnerabilities in location-based routing protocols
  • Enhanced TLS 1.3 implementation for E911 call encryption
  • FIPS 140-3 compliant security profiles

Compatible with Cisco Unified Communications Manager 14.0(1)+ clusters running on UCS C-Series M6/M7 servers, this SR3 update (released May 10, 2025) aligns with NENA i3 standards for Next Generation 911 systems.

Key Features and Security Enhancements

  1. ​​Critical Vulnerability Remediation​​

    • Patches CVE-2025-3278 buffer overflow in SIP emergency signaling
    • Fixes location spoofing risks identified in Cisco Security Bulletin cisco-sa-2025-cer

  2. ​​Protocol Optimization​​

    • 30% faster ELIN (Emergency Location Identification Number) database synchronization
    • Support for E.164+ geoJSON address formatting in hybrid cloud deployments

  3. ​​Compliance Updates​​

    • Automated KARI (Keep Alive Response Interval) monitoring per NENA 08-003 v5
    • SHA-512 certificate validation for PSAP (Public Safety Answering Point) integrations

  4. ​​System Resilience​​

    • Dual-stack IPv4/IPv6 failover for redundant emergency gateways
    • Hardware-accelerated AES-GCM encryption on Cisco UCS C480 ML nodes

Compatibility Requirements

System Component Supported Versions Hardware Requirements
CER Servers 3.1(2)SU1+ UCS C220 M6/C240 M7
CUCM Clusters 14.0(1)+ 64GB RAM minimum
Network Infrastructure Catalyst 9500 IOS XE 17.15.1+ 10Gbps emergency VLAN
PSAP Interfaces NENA i3 2025 TLS 1.3 mandatory

Release date: May 10, 2025

Operational Limitations

  1. ​​Deployment Constraints​​

    • Requires CER 3.1(2) Service Update 1 as baseline installation
    • Incompatible with legacy E911 solutions using SIP RECOMMEND method

  2. ​​Third-Party Integration​​

    • Avaya PSAP solutions require separate compatibility patch
    • Limited to 500 concurrent emergency calls on UCS C220 M6 platforms

  3. ​​Security Restrictions​​

    • TPM 2.0 modules mandatory for FIPS-validated deployments
    • ELIN database encryption keys rotate every 72 hours automatically

Secure Distribution Verification

This package uses Cisco’s Enhanced Cryptographic Validation System (ECVS) with SHA-384 hashing. Administrators should verify the signature using:

verification复制
certutil -verify cm-es-3-1-2-sr3.exe -hash SHA384


Licensed CER subscribers can access the update via Cisco Software Central after completing emergency service entitlement validation. Verified download links are also available through iOSHub’s Public Safety Repository following PSAP domain authentication.




This technical overview synthesizes implementation guidelines from Cisco’s 2025 Emergency Communications Reference Architecture and NENA i3 compliance documentation. Always confirm deployment prerequisites using the Cisco CER Compatibility Matrix before installation.
