While the patched ISO makes installation possible on newer hardware, it does not address the modern security vulnerabilities present in such an old kernel. This version should ideally be used only for lab environments or as a stepping stone in a multi-stage upgrade path to a supported version like CUCM 12.5 or 14/15.
