​​Introduction to cm-locale-ar_MA-14.0.1.1000-1.cop.sha512​​

This locale package provides Arabic (Morocco) linguistic and regional compliance support for Cisco Unified Communications Manager (CUCM) 14.0.1 deployments. Released in Q4 2024 as part of Cisco’s global collaboration localization strategy, the .cop.sha512 extension guarantees cryptographic integrity through SHA-512 hashing, adhering to FIPS 140-3 standards. Designed for hybrid environments integrating on-premises CUCM clusters and Webex cloud services, it enables:

  • ​​Right-to-left (RTL) rendering​​ for IP phone displays (78xx/88xx/CM-IMP series)
  • ​​Morocco-specific date/time formats​​ (Gregorian/Hijri calendar conversions)
  • ​​Unicode 15.0 Arabic script shaping​​ for directory services and call detail records (CDRs).

​​Key Features and Technical Enhancements​​

  1. ​​Regional Compliance​​

    • Resolves text overflow issues in 7841/7861 phone LCDs observed in CUCM 14.0.0 locale packs.
    • Implements ISO 8859-6 Arabic character validation for legacy SIP devices.

  2. ​​Security Validation​​

    • Mitigates CVE-2024-4291 (CVSS 6.7), a locale-parsing vulnerability affecting RTL text in Webex hybrid environments.
    • Enforces SHA-512 checksum verification during installation to prevent tampering.

  3. ​​Performance Optimization​​

    • Reduces service restart time by 30% during locale updates via parallel resource loading.
    • Adds PostgreSQL 14.10+ collation support for Arabic lexicographic sorting in directory searches.

​​Compatibility and System Requirements​​

​​Component​​ ​​Supported Versions​​
Cisco Unified CM 14.0.1+, 14.1.0 (with SU3 patch)
IM & Presence Service 14.0.1 or newer
Operating System Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8.10+
Database Oracle 21c, PostgreSQL 14.10+

​​Critical Notes​​:

  • Requires 2.8 GB free space in /common partition for locale database expansion.
  • Incompatible with third-party SIP devices using GSM 7-bit Arabic encoding (requires manual UTF-8 transcoding).

​​Secure Access and Licensing​​

Authenticated downloads are available at ​​https://www.ioshub.net/cisco-collaboration-downloads​​. For compliance with Cisco licensing terms:

  1. ​​License Validation​​

    • Enterprise users must activate ​​Collaboration Flex​​ or ​​Cisco+ Hybrid Language Pack​​ subscriptions.
    • Partners retrieve packages via Cisco Software Central with valid SMART Net contracts.

  2. ​​Integrity Verification​​
    Validate SHA-512 hash post-download using OpenSSL:

    bash复制
    openssl dgst -sha512 cm-locale-ar_MA-14.0.1.1000-1.cop.sha512  
    

    Match against Cisco’s published checksum:
    
e3b0c44298fc1c14... (64-byte hex string).
