Threats affecting pkg:github/BI Connector ODBC Driver

A data source definition containing an over-length file path setting may cause the MongoDB BI Connector ODBC Driver setup dialog to write outside the bounds of an allocated buffer. The issue stems from an incorrect buffer capacity calculation in the dialog's file and folder selection handling, and is reached only when a user opens the setup dialog for such a data source and initiates a file or folder selection. Depending on build configuration, the result may range from abnormal process termination to, under certain conditions, execution of unintended code in the context of the user running the dialog.

An application using the MongoDB BI Connector ODBC Driver may experience a memory-safety issue when processing output parameters from a stored procedure. Triggering this issue requires connecting to an untrusted or impersonated database server that returns crafted metadata. This may result in process termination, disclosure of process memory, or, under certain conditions, arbitrary code execution.

The MongoDB BI Connector ODBC Driver converts floating point column values into text without checking that the result fits within the destination buffer. When an application reads a sufficiently large floating point value as text, the driver may write beyond the end of that buffer and corrupt adjacent memory. A user who can store data in a collection read through the BI Connector could use this to crash the application performing the read.

The MongoDB BI Connector ODBC Driver may write outside the bounds of a fixed-size buffer when an application supplies an unusually long catalog, schema, or object name to a metadata retrieval function. This may result in memory corruption within the calling application's process, leading to abnormal termination and, under certain conditions, the potential for arbitrary code execution.

A missing bounds check when parsing stored procedure parameter metadata in the MongoDB BI Connector ODBC Driver can result in an out-of-bounds write in the client application process. Triggering this issue requires control over the server the driver connects to, or the ability to respond in its place, in order to return malformed metadata. The resulting memory corruption may cause the client application to terminate abnormally or, under certain conditions, execute unintended code.
