mongodb: memory over-read via incorrect BSON object length
Published Mar 6, 2014
6.4
MEDIUMCVSS 2.0
EPSS 3.82%
Description
The default configuration for MongoDB before 2.3.2 does not validate objects, which allows remote authenticated users to cause a denial of service (crash) or read system memory via a crafted BSON object in the column name in an insert command, which triggers a buffer over-read.
