About Cisco ICM (and ICM Engineering Specials)


This ES patch resolves security vulnerabilities (CVE-2017-12611, CVE-2017-9805, CVE-2017-9804, CVE-2017-9793) in the websetup application on all ICM servers, including Admin Client machines, by upgrading the Apache Struts2 sub-component to version 2.3.34.

All ICM services running on a server should be stopped before proceeding with patch installation.

As this patch only involves the upgrade of the websetup application, there should be no need to for contact center downtime. For instance, if you were installing this patch on a duplexed Router server, you could bring one side down, apply the ES and then restart the Router service again after reboot, to resume duplexed operation. Once duplexed operation resumes, the other side of the Router can have the patch applied. 

It is recommended to install the ES during a scheduled maintenance window.
