| Vector | AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N/VC:N/VI:N/VA:L/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N |
Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions
mongo-python-driver versions prior to 2.5.2
Description
The issue allows context-dependent attackers to cause a denial of service, resulting in a NULL pointer dereference and crash. This is related to the decoding of an "invalid DBRef" in the bson/ cbsonmodule.c file.
Recommendations
For versions prior to 2.5.2, update to version 2.5.2 or later to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting the decoding of DBRef objects to minimize the risk of exploitation.
