Introduction to cm-locale-uk_UA-12.5.1.4000-1.cop.sgn
The cm-locale-uk_UA-12.5.1.4000-1.cop.sgn is a cryptographically validated localization package for Cisco Unified Communications Manager (CUCM) 12.5.1, designed to implement full Ukrainian language support for enterprise collaboration systems. This update resolves 33 locale-specific defects reported in prior CUCM versions, including Cyrillic character rendering errors in administrative consoles and call detail records (CDRs).
Developed under Cisco’s Global Language Standardization Initiative, the package complies with Ukraine’s DSTU 9112:2025 telecommunications standards for date formats (dd.MM.yyyy), numeric separators (1 234,56), and currency symbols (₴). The “.cop.sgn” extension utilizes Cisco’s Secure Generic Notation protocol, 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 validated UCS platforms
Key Features and Technical Enhancements
1. Linguistic Compliance
- Extended Cyrillic Support: Fixes rendering for 18 Ukrainian-specific characters including “ґ” and “є” across SIP message headers and voicemail transcripts
- Regional Formatting: Implements DSTU ISO 8601:2025 standards for time zones (EET/EEST) and calendar displays
2. Security Architecture
- Dual-Layer Authentication: Uses FIPS 140-3 compliant SHA-256 hashing with Cisco’s digital certificate chain verification
- Protocol Sanitization: Filters bidirectional Unicode characters in SIP headers to prevent CVE-2025-1984 vulnerabilities
3. Performance Optimization
- Memory Efficiency: Reduces runtime footprint by 21% through optimized Cyrillic ligature tables compared to legacy locale packs
- Virtualization Support: Validated on Cisco UCS X210c M6 blades using VMware ESXi 7.0 U3 hypervisors
