VMR Entry Queue - Change of Behavior
Users are able to change the behavior of the policy of number collection for VMR Entry Queues,
Conference-IDs and Passwords, allowing a time-out to be used as a stop indicator for the input string.
In previous versions, a # input at the end of the input string indicated completion of the input.
The administrator can configure the system, using the ENABLE_DTMF_NUMBER_WO_DELIMITER
system flag to change the previous system behavior, allowing a time-out to be used as a stop indicator for
the string input for the local IVR, when the MCU collects the Conference-ID in the local Entry Queue or the
Password (chairperson or participant) while routed to the conference.
The flag must be manually added to the System Configuration and its value modified as follows:
Flag Name
ENABLE_DTMF_NUM
BER_WO_DELIMITER
Value / Description
YES
If the timer expires, the received digits
validated even if there is no delimiter.
If the received number is not valid, the
system will prompt again for the number
according to number of retries. that are
configured.
NO
This is the default setting for
backward compatibility.
If the timer expires because no delimiter
is received, the number input is not valid.
The system will prompt again for the
number according to number of retries.
that are configured.
A System Reset in not required for the flag setting to take effect.
For more information see, Modifying System Flags in the Collaboration Server (RMX) Administrator’s
Guide.

Corrections and Known Limitations
Corrections Between Version 8.3 and Version 8.3 Inc
OpenSSL 'Heartbleed' Vulnerability
A HotFix Note was issued pertaining to US – CERT, Alert (TA14-098A):
Released file:
RMX_8.3.0.245.bin
Affected version: 8.3
Release date:
April 22, 2014
Purpose
RMX_8.3.0.245.bin addresses the vulnerability in OpenSSL that could allow a remote attacker to expose
sensitive data, possibly including user authentication credentials and secret keys, through incorrect memory
handling in the TLS heartbeat extension.
For a full description see US – CERT, Alert (TA14-098A) at https://www.us-cert.gov/ncas/alerts/TA14-098A.
Prerequisites and Configuration Considerations
Install RMX_8.3.0.245.bin only on RealPresence Collaboration Servers (RMX) with v8.3 installed.
Functionality Affected
RMX_8.3.0.245.bin was built by compiling the OpenSSL module with OpenSSL flag
OPENSSL_NO_HEARTBEATS which disables the TLS heartbeat extension mechanism.
There is no further system functionality impact.
Installation Notes
Upgrade and installation are as described in the RealPresence Collaboration Server RMX 1500 / 1800 /
2000 / 4000 Release Notes for Version 8.3 and Version 8.3.Incremental.
Rollback Considerations
Downgrade procedures to a version prior to v8.3.0.245 are as described in the RealPresence Collaboration
Server RMX 1500 / 1800 / 2000 / 4000 Release Notes for Version 8.3 and Version 8.3.Incremental.
Polycom®, Inc.
27
Resolved Issues
RMX_8.3.0.245.bin addresses the following issue.
Issue #
Description
CVE-2014-0160
The (1) TLS and (2) DTLS implementations in OpenSSL 1.0.1 before 1.0.1g do not
properly handle Heartbeat Extension packets, which allows remote attackers to obtain
sensitive information from process memory via crafted packets that trigger a buffer
over-read, as demonstrated by reading private keys, related to d1_both.c and t1_lib.c, aka
the Heartbleed bug.
RMX_8.3.0.246.bin addresses the following issues.
Issue #
Description
CVE-2014-6271
GNU Bash through 4.3 processes trailing strings after function definitions in the values of
environment variables, which allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a
crafted environment, as demonstrated by vectors involving the ForceCommand feature in
OpenSSH sshd, the mod_cgi and mod_cgid modules in the Apache HTTP Server, scripts
executed by unspecified DHCP clients, and other situations in which setting the
environment occurs across a privilege boundary from Bash execution, aka "ShellShock."
NOTE: the original fix for this issue was incorrect; CVE-2014-7169 has been assigned to
cover the vulnerability that is still present after the incorrect fix.
CVE-2014-3513
Memory leak in d1_srtp.c in the DTLS SRTP extension in OpenSSL 1.0.1 before 1.0.1j
allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (memory consumption) via a crafted
handshake message.
CVE-2014-3566
The SSL protocol 3.0, as used in OpenSSL through 1.0.1i and other products, uses
nondeterministic CBC padding, which makes it easier for man-in-the-middle attackers to
obtain cleartext data via a padding-oracle attack, aka the "POODLE" issue.
CVE-2014-3567
Memory leak in the tls_decrypt_ticket function in t1_lib.c in OpenSSL before 0.9.8zc, 1.0.0
before 1.0.0o, and 1.0.1 before 1.0.1j allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service
(memory consumption) via a crafted session ticket that triggers an integrity-check failure.
CVE-2014-3568
OpenSSL before 0.9.8zc, 1.0.0 before 1.0.0o, and 1.0.1 before 1.0.1j does not properly
enforce the no-ssl3 build option, which allows remote attackers to bypass intended access
restrictions via an SSL 3.0 handshake, related to s23_clnt.c and s23_srvr.c.

Troubleshooting Instructions
Use of the RMX Web Client is not recommended in Maximum Security
Environments.Management using the RMX Manager is the recommended method.
If a Browser Environment Error occurs, close all the Internet Explorer sessions and reconnect to the MCU.
If the problem persists, you can run the Automatic Troubleshooting Utility or perform the
Troubleshooting Procedures manually.
The Manual Troubleshooting Procedures include several procedures that can be performed in order to
solve the connection error. At the end of each procedure, check if you can connect to the MCU and if the
problem persists, perform the next procedure.
NOTE: Certificates in Secured Mode
In Secured Mode (https://), the DNS name specified in the Collaboration Server’s Certificate must
correspond with that of the DNS Server used by the Client that is connecting to the RMX
The following troubleshooting procedures can be performed manually:
● Procedure 1: Ending all Internet Explorer Sessions
● Procedure 2: Deleting the Temporary Internet Files, Collaboration Server Cookie and Collaboration
Server Object
● Procedure 3: Managing Add-ons Collisions
● Procedure 4: Add the Collaboration Server to the Internet Explorer Trusted Sites List
