CVE-2017-12282 describes a denial-of-service vulnerability in Cisco Wireless LAN Controllers (WLCs) running specific software versions and configured for Hotspot 2.0. An unauthenticated, RF-adjacent attacker can exploit this by sending a malformed Access Network Query Protocol (ANQP) frame, causing the WLC to unexpectedly restart. This medium-severity vulnerability (CVSS 6.1) requires physical proximity (AV:A) and has high attack complexity (AC:H), but no user interaction is needed. There is no evidence of active exploitation, public exploit code (Metasploit, Nuclei, ExploitDB), or significant community discussion surrounding this CVE.
