CVE-2017-12250

CVE-2017-12250 is a denial-of-service vulnerability affecting the HTTP web interface of Cisco Wide Area Application Services (WAAS). It stems from insufficient input validation, allowing an unauthenticated, remote attacker to send a crafted HTTP request that restarts an HTTP Application Optimization process. This results in a partial denial of service, as traffic may be dropped during the brief restart period. Rated Medium with a CVSS score of 5.3, the attack requires no user interaction and has low complexity. There is no evidence of active exploitation, public exploit code, or significant community discussion surrounding this vulnerability.
