1. Introduction to uc-locale-ru_RU-12.5.0.1-54.cop.sha512
This SHA512-authenticated localization package provides full Russian (Russia) language support for Cisco Unified Communications Manager (CUCM) 12.5(0) SU5 deployments. Designed under Cisco’s Unicode 14.0 Cyrillic script framework, it implements right-to-left text alignment for mixed scripts, Russian-specific date formats (ДД.ММ.ГГГГ), and currency symbols (₽) across Cisco collaboration interfaces.
The cryptographic SHA512 hash embedded in the filename ensures end-to-end file integrity validation, complying with Russia’s Федеральный закон №152-FZ data protection regulations for enterprise communication systems. Released in Q1 2026, this update addresses ГОСТ Р 59556-2025 requirements for native language support in telecommunications infrastructure.
2. Key Features and Improvements
- Script Rendering Optimization:
- Supports full Cyrillic diacritics in SIP error messages and voicemail transcripts
- Implements Unicode Bidirectional Algorithm for hybrid Russian-English interfaces
- Security Enhancements:
- SHA512 file verification prevents supply-chain attacks during OAMP updates
- Patched XML entity expansion vulnerability (CVE-2025-6728) in locale templates
- Regulatory Compliance:
- ГОСТ Р 59556-2025 requirements for emergency service labels (112/Служба спасения)
- ФЗ-152 data localization mandates for audit logs
- Performance Gains:
- 40% faster Cyrillic text rendering on Cisco IP Phone 8865/8867 series
- Parallel SHA512/CRC32 validation reduces installation time by 28%
The package introduces dynamic numeric formatting switching between European (1.000,00) and Russian (1 000,00) conventions based on user profiles.
3. Compatibility and Requirements
| Component | Supported Versions | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| CUCM Publisher Node | 12.5(0) SU3 or later | Requires Security Pack 12.5.0-ES3 |
| IM and Presence Service | 12.5(0) SU2 with PS locale | Install after core services |
| Cisco Emergency Responder | 12.5(0) SU1 | Cyrillic labels limited |
| Operating System | Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8.11 | Kernel 4.18.0-700 minimum |
Critical Dependencies:
- Cisco Unified Reporting 12.5(0) SU4 for Cyrillic analytics
- Cisco Prime Collaboration 12.9 for bidirectional monitoring
- 8GB free disk space per cluster node
4. Limitations and Restrictions
- Not compatible with legacy Cisco Unified Contact Center Express 11.6(2)
- Requires sequential installation (Publisher → Subscribers → IM&P nodes)
- Maximum 4 concurrent locale packages during phased deployments
- Third-party SIP devices must support RFC 8259 UTF-8 encoding
