CVE-2017-12360 — Cisco Webex Meeting Center security vulnerability

Medium CVSS 4.3

A vulnerability in Cisco WebEx Network Recording Player for WebEx Recording Format (WRF) files could allow an attacker to cause a denial of service (DoS) condition. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability by providing a user with a malicious WRF file via email or URL and convincing the user to open the file. A successful exploit could cause an affected player to crash, resulting in a DoS condition. This vulnerability affects Cisco WebEx Business Suite meeting sites, Cisco WebEx Meetings sites, and Cisco WebEx WRF players. Cisco Bug IDs: CSCve30294, CSCve30301.

Matched remediation archetype

Resource exhaustion and denial of service

This catalog composition supplies bounded fallback guidance. Explicitly reviewed curated workflows load with the complete record below.

Check exposure

  • Identify attacker-influenced work factors including input size, nesting, compression, fan-out, regex cost, allocation, recursion, retries, and connection lifetime.
  • Map per-request and shared CPU, memory, disk, descriptor, thread, queue, and downstream-service limits.
  • Determine whether authentication, tenancy, quotas, and rate controls apply before expensive processing begins.

Remediate safely

  • Bound input size, nesting, expansion, work, concurrency, queue depth, retries, and execution time before resource-intensive processing.
  • Release resources on every success, error, cancellation, and timeout path and use backpressure instead of unbounded buffering.
  • Update affected components and add small deterministic tests that assert resource ceilings rather than exhausting a host.
