IPPHONE |
The IP phone freezes, reboots, and disconnects from the VPN after an upgrade from Cisco IOS® Software Release 15.3(3)M3 to Cisco IOS Software Release 15.3(3)M4.
The problem is caused by the Cisco IOS code change, which expects a Datagram Transport Layer Security (DTLS) header from the phone. Specifically, the X-DTLS-Header-Pad-Length attribute in the CONNECT message.
The phones hit two additional bugs (see the CDETS section) and are unable to complete the process. As a result, the phones fall back to TLS which causes the indicated behavior.
The VPN client that runs in the phone firmware is not based on the AnyConnect client, but instead uses the AnyConnect protocol.
All firmware versions that support DTLS, Cisco IOS Software Releases 15.3(3)M4 and 15.4(3)M5 and later, are affected.
The IP phone freezes, reboots, and disconnects from the VPN after an upgrade from Cisco IOS Software Release 15.3(3)M3 to Cisco IOS Software Release 15.3(3)M4.
Cisco IOS version 15.4(3)M4 can be used as a workaround because it does not contain the code change to expect a DTLS header from the phone.
Cisco recommends to use Cisco IOS Software Release 15.4(3) M4 per the workaround.
