​​Introduction to cm-locale-ar_KW-14.0.1.1001-1.cop.sha512​​

This cryptographic-signed localization package delivers comprehensive Arabic (Kuwait) language support for Cisco Unified Communications Manager (CUCM) 14.0 environments. Designed to meet Kuwait’s TD 3707:2023 technical standards for enterprise communication systems, it implements locale-specific configurations including Hijri/Gregorian calendar displays, Kuwaiti dinar currency symbols (د.ك), and right-to-left text rendering for XML services on supported endpoints.

Compatible with Cisco 8800/8900 Series IP Phones and Webex Room Kits deployed in Kuwaiti enterprises, the package integrates with Cisco’s Smart Licensing framework for automated validation. Officially released on November 17, 2024, it supports CUCM 14.0 SU3 and later versions, addressing critical localization requirements for government and financial sector deployments.

  2. ​​Security Enhancements​​

    • SHA-512 file integrity verification replaces legacy MD5 checksums
    • Patched XML locale injection vulnerability (CVE-2024-3872) affecting CUCM 14.0 SU1
