Publication date: 21 May 2024
Modification date: 21 May 2024
Type: security
Affected Mageia releases : 9
CVE: CVE-2024-21506

Description

Versions of the package pymongo before 4.6.3 are vulnerable to
Out-of-bounds Read in the bson module. Using the crafted payload the
attacker could force the parser to deserialize unmanaged memory. The
parser tries to interpret bytes next to buffer and throws an exception
with string. If the following bytes are not printable UTF-8 the parser
throws an exception with a single byte.
