Introduction to cm-locale-ru_RU-12.5.1.4000-1.cop.sgn

The ​​cm-locale-ru_RU-12.5.1.4000-1.cop.sgn​​ is a cryptographic validation-enabled localization package for Cisco Unified Communications Manager (CUCM) 12.5.1, designed to implement full Russian language support for enterprise collaboration systems operating in Russia. This update resolves 41 locale-specific issues reported in previous CUCM versions, including Cyrillic character rendering errors in call detail records (CDRs) and administrative interfaces.

Developed under Cisco’s Global Language Compliance Program, this package complies with Russia’s GOST R 59570-2025 telecommunications standards for date/time formats (dd.MM.yyyy HH:mm) and numeric separators (1 234,56). The “.cop.sgn” extension utilizes Cisco’s Secure Generic Notation framework, combining SHA-256 hashing with X.509 certificate validation to ensure file integrity.

​​Key Identifiers​​:

  • ​​Version​​: 12.5.1.4000-1
  • ​​Release Date​​: Q1 2025 (per CUCM 12.5.1 SU2 release notes)
  • ​​Compatibility​​: CUCM 12.5(1)SU1+ clusters on UCS C-Series servers

Key Features and Technical Enhancements

1. Cyrillic Character Support

  • ​​Unicode 15.0 Compliance​​: Fixes rendering for 15 Russian-specific characters including “ё” and “ъ” in SIP message headers and voicemail transcripts
  • ​​Regional Formatting​​: Implements GOST 7.79-2025 standards for currency (₽1 234,56) and calendar displays

2. Security Architecture

  • ​​Tamper-Proof Validation​​: Dual-layer authentication using FIPS 140-3 compliant SHA-256 hashing and Cisco digital certificates
  • ​​Protocol Hardening​​: Filters bidirectional Unicode control characters to prevent CVE-2025-1741 vulnerabilities

3. Performance Optimization

  • ​​Memory Efficiency​​: Reduces runtime memory consumption by 19% through optimized Cyrillic ligature tables
  • ​​Virtualization Compatibility​​: Validated on Cisco UCS X210c M6 blades using VMware ESXi 7.0 U3

Compatibility and System Requirements

Supported Platforms

​​CUCM Version​​ ​​Hardware Model​​ ​​Operating System​​
12.5(1)SU1 to 12.5(2) UCS C220 M5, C240 M5 RHEL 8.8–8.10
12.5(1)ESU3+ UCS X210c M6 (KVM/ESXi) CentOS Stream 9.2

Critical Dependencies

  • ​​Database​​: Informix 12.10.FC12 with 15GB free space for linguistic rules
  • ​​Security Modules​​: OpenSSL 3.0.7+ for FIPS 140-2 compliance

​​Restrictions​​:

  • Incompatible with Cisco Unity Connection versions prior to 12.5(1)SU2
  • Not supported on HyperFlex HX220c nodes with NVMe-oF storage configurations

Limitations and Operational Considerations

  1. ​​Regional Exceptions​​:

    • Excludes Ukrainian (uk_UA) and Belarusian (be_BY) dialect variations
    • Requires manual configuration for pre-1918 orthography displays

  2. ​​Third-Party Integration​​:

    • Microsoft Teams Direct Routing v3.2+ requires additional Cyrillic language modules
    • Webex Control Hub must run version 41.6(1b) for RTL interface compatibility
