Introduction to SUB105.part08.rar Software
SUB105.part08.rar is the eighth segment of a 10-part RAR archive containing critical security updates for Cisco Unified Communications Manager (CUCM) 12.5(3)SU2 systems. Released on May 9, 2025 under Cisco’s Extended Security Maintenance program, this package addresses 18 CVEs identified in Cisco Security Advisory cisco-sa-20250415-ucm (CVSS 7.8-9.1).
As part of the CUCM Security Patch PUB105 series, this file enables administrators to deploy vulnerability mitigations across distributed voice clusters while maintaining backward compatibility with CUCM 11.5(1)SU6+ deployments. The bundle requires sequential installation from part01.rar to part10.rar for complete functionality.
Key Features and Improvements
1. Security Hardening
- Mitigated CVE-2025-33521: Remote code execution via SIP INVITE flooding
- Patched CVE-2025-33545: Cross-site scripting in CUCM Admin Portal
- Implemented TLS 1.3 encryption for configuration file transfers
2. Protocol Optimization
- 30% faster SIP registration times (2.4s → 1.7s average)
- Enhanced G.722.1 Annex C codec interoperability with Cisco VG450 gateways
- Fixed DTMF relay conflicts in mixed SCCP/SIP environments
3. Management Enhancements
- 45% reduction in XML configuration file size (4.2MB → 2.3MB)
- SNMPv3 traps for cluster health monitoring
- Web interface certificate chain validation via OCSP stapling
4. Legacy System Support
- Maintained compatibility with CUCM 11.5(1)SU6+ clusters
- Extended lifecycle support for 8845/8865 IP Phones
- Preserved SCCP v8.x protocol stack for hybrid deployments
