CVE-2017-12250

CWE-399

Summary

A vulnerability in the HTTP web interface for Cisco Wide Area Application 
Services (WAAS) could allow an unauthenticated, remote attacker to cause an 
HTTP Application Optimization (AO) related process to restart, causing a 
partial denial of service (DoS) condition.

The vulnerability is due to lack of input validation of user-supplied input 
parameters within an HTTP request. An attacker could exploit this 
vulnerability by sending a crafted HTTP request through the targeted device. 
An exploit could allow the attacker to cause a DoS condition due to a process
unexpectedly restarting. The WAAS could drop traffic during the brief time the
process is restarting.

There are no workarounds that address this vulnerability.
