Introduction to uc-locale-pt_BR-14.0.0.1-28.cop.sha512
This locale package provides Brazilian Portuguese language support for Cisco Unified Communications Manager (CUCM) 14.0.0.1 deployments, addressing regional compliance requirements for voice/video interfaces, directory services, and call detail records (CDRs). Released in Q3 2024 under Cisco’s global collaboration localization initiative, the .cop.sha512 extension ensures cryptographic integrity through SHA-512 hashing, complying with FIPS 140-3 standards.
Designed for hybrid environments integrating on-premises CUCM clusters and Webex cloud services, it supports:
- Brazilian Portuguese diacritic rendering (ç, ã, õ) on IP phone displays (78xx/88xx/CM-IMP series)
- Brazil-specific date/time formats (ISO 8601 with Gregorian calendar localization)
- UTF-8 encoding validation for directory synchronization with Microsoft Active Directory.
Key Features and Technical Enhancements
-
Regional Compliance
- Resolves text truncation issues in 7841/7861 phone LCDs observed in CUCM 14.0.0 locale packs
- Implements ISO 8859-1 Latin 1 character set validation for legacy SIP devices.
-
Security Validation
- Mitigates CVE-2024-4291 (CVSS 6.7), a locale-parsing vulnerability affecting diacritic rendering in Webex hybrid environments
- Enforces SHA-512 checksum verification during installation to prevent tampered package deployment.
-
Integration Improvements
- Supports PostgreSQL 15.5+ collation settings for Portuguese lexicographic sorting in directory searches
- Reduces service restart time by 25% during locale updates through optimized resource caching.
