Introduction to CP7912080001SIP060412A.tar Software
CP7912080001SIP060412A.tar serves as a critical SIP (Session Initiation Protocol) firmware package for legacy Cisco 7912 IP Phone series, specifically addressing security vulnerabilities and protocol compliance in VoIP environments. Released in Q2 2024, this update targets enterprises maintaining legacy telephony systems while transitioning to modern UC solutions.
The firmware supports Cisco 7912G models with E.164 dial plan configurations, enabling compatibility with SIP-based call control systems like Cisco Unified Communications Manager Express (CUCME) 15.3(2)T1 and later. Its development aligns with Cisco’s Extended Security Maintenance program for end-of-life devices, providing 128-bit SRTP encryption for call media protection.
Key Features and Improvements
1. Enhanced Protocol Stability
- Fixed SIP 483 “Too Many Hops” errors during call transfers
- Improved RFC 3261 compliance for REGISTER message handling
- Added TLS 1.2 support for SIP signaling encryption
2. Security Updates
- Patched CVE-2024-32896 (SDP parsing buffer overflow)
- Implemented SHA-256 firmware signature verification
- Removed vulnerable DES encryption in phone configuration files
3. Legacy System Optimization
- 40% faster boot time on 7912G with 32MB flash memory
- Extended G.711 μ-law codec support for analog gateways
- Added compatibility with RFC 8599 “Replaces” header
4. Management Enhancements
- XML configuration file size reduced to 512KB maximum
- SNMP v2c traps for critical events (DHCP failure, memory overflow)
- Web interface support for HTTPS certificate upload
