AI-suggested
Apply the official patches by upgrading to libbson version 1.27.5 or later, MongoDB Server v7.0.16 or later, and MongoDB Server v8.0.1 or later. These versions contain fixes that prevent buffer overflow conditions in the bson_append functions. No additional mitigation steps are indicated.
Description
A buffer overflow vulnerability exists in the MongoDB C driver bson library's bson_append functions when constructing BSON documents that exceed the maximum size limit (INT32_MAX). This can cause segmentation faults and application crashes. The issue affects libbson versions prior to 1.27.5, MongoDB Server v7.0 versions before 7.0.16, and MongoDB Server v8.0 versions before 8.0.1. A patch is available to address this vulnerability.
