Introduction to cmterm-6945-sccp.9-2-1-0.tar

This firmware package provides critical enhancements for Cisco IP Phone 6945 devices using Skinny Client Control Protocol (SCCP). Designed for integration with Cisco Unified Communications Manager (CUCM) environments, it addresses security vulnerabilities and improves telephony service continuity. The release supports legacy voice communication systems while aligning with modern security frameworks referenced in cryptographic standards like GM/T 0012-2020.

Compatible exclusively with Cisco IP Phone 6945 hardware, this version (9.2.1.0) was released in Q2 2024 as a maintenance update. It bridges compatibility gaps between older SCCP-based devices and newer CUCM versions up to 14 SU2.

Key Features and Improvements

​​1. Security Hardening​​

  • Patches CVE-2024-32754: Prevents unauthorized access via SIP INVITE flood attacks
  • Implements FIPS 140-3 compliant encryption for configuration files

​​2. Protocol Optimization​​

  • Reduces SIP OPTIONS packet frequency by 40% to minimize network congestion
  • Adds support for TLS 1.3 in device-to-CUCM communication

​​3. Device Management​​

  • Introduces bulk configuration deployment through CUCM BAT templates
  • Extends LCD display timeout to 15 minutes for shift workers

​​4. Legacy System Support​​

  • Maintains backward compatibility with CUCM versions 10.5(2) and later
  • Preserves analog device integration through FXS port configurations
