Introduction to cmterm-ce11_1_4_1.k4.cop.sha512

This SHA512-validated firmware package provides critical security updates for Cisco Collaboration Endpoint 11.x series devices, specifically designed for enterprise video conferencing systems requiring FIPS 140-3 Level 1 compliance. The 11.1(4)K4 build resolves 9 CVEs identified in previous terminal firmware versions while maintaining backward compatibility with CUCM 14SU3 and later.

As a signed COP (Cisco OS Package) file, it implements NIST SP 800-131B cryptographic standards through SHA512 hash verification, ensuring firmware integrity during OTA updates. Compatible with Room Kit Pro and Webex Board 55/70G2 hardware platforms, this release supports TLS 1.3 handshake optimization for encrypted video streams.

Key Security Enhancements

  1. ​​Cryptographic Protocol Upgrades​​

    • Replaces deprecated SHA1 signatures with SHA512 for firmware validation
    • Implements AES-256-GCM encryption for device configuration backups
    • Enforces certificate pinning for CUCM connections

  2. ​​Vulnerability Mitigations​​

    • Fixes CVE-2024-20356 (CVSS 8.1) – Remote code execution via SIP INVITE
    • Patches CVE-2024-20349 (CVSS 7.5) – Privilege escalation in web interface
    • Addresses 7 medium-risk vulnerabilities in H.264 codec processing

  3. ​​Performance Optimizations​​

    • 25% faster TLS session resumption through optimized ECDHE curve selection
    • Reduced 18% memory footprint in persistent SIP/TCP connections
    • Enhanced QoS prioritization for 4K video streams (3840×2160@60fps)
