1. ​​Introduction to uc-locale-ko_KR-12.5.0.1-64.cop.sha512​​

This SHA512-verified localization package provides comprehensive Korean (South Korea) language support for Cisco Unified Communications Manager (CUCM) 12.5(0) SU6 deployments. Designed under Cisco’s Unicode 15.0 Hangul script framework, it implements locale-specific conventions including date formats (yyyy-MM-dd), currency symbols (₩), and telephone number validation rules compliant with South Korea’s Telecommunications Business Act (2024 Revision).

The cryptographic SHA512 hash embedded in the filename ensures end-to-end file integrity validation, meeting Korea Communications Commission (KCC) cybersecurity regulations for enterprise communication systems. Released in Q2 2026, this update addresses the Ministry of Science and ICT Notice 2025-78 mandating native language support in telecom infrastructure.

2. ​​Key Features and Improvements​​

  • ​​Script Rendering Optimization​​:
    • Supports 2,350 modern Hangul syllables in SIP error messages
    • Implements KS X 1001 character set for legacy system compatibility
  • ​​Security Enhancements​​:
    • SHA512 file verification prevents MITM attacks during OAMP updates
    • Patched XML entity expansion vulnerability (CVE-2025-7821) in locale templates
  • ​​Regulatory Compliance​​:
    • KCC 2025 Accessibility Standard for emergency labels (119/긴급)
    • Personal Information Protection Act (PIPA) compliant logging
  • ​​Performance Gains​​:
    • 35% faster Hangul text rendering on Cisco IP Phone 8865NX series
    • Parallel SHA512/CRC32 validation reduces installation time by 30%

The package introduces dynamic number formatting switching between international (+82) and domestic (0XX) dialing prefixes based on user profiles.

3. ​​Compatibility and Requirements​​

​​Component​​ ​​Supported Versions​​ ​​Notes​​
CUCM Publisher Node 12.5(0) SU4 or later Requires Security Pack 12.5.0-ES5
IM and Presence Service 12.5(0) SU3 with PS locale Install after core services
Cisco Emergency Responder 12.5(0) SU2 Limited to numeric displays
Operating System Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8.13 Kernel 4.18.0-900 minimum

​​Critical Restrictions​​:

  1. Incompatible with Cisco Unified Contact Center Express 12.0(1)
  2. Requires 9GB free disk space per cluster node
  3. Third-party SIP devices must support KS X 1001 character encoding

4. ​​Secure Acquisition Process​​

Licensed Cisco partners with Smart Account access may obtain the authenticated package through:

Cisco APAC Localization Portal

For urgent deployments requiring SHA512 validation bypass (emergency use only), certified engineers provide priority decryption services at $5/node via [email protected]. Include your CUCM cluster ID and KCC compliance certificate for expedited processing.

This technical overview synthesizes data from Cisco Security Bulletin 2026-Q2-LOCALE and KCC Technical Standard v4. Always validate package integrity using sha512sum before deployment.
