Synopsis

The remote database server is affected by a denial of service vulnerability.

Description

The version of the remote MongoDB server is 2.4.x prior to 2.4.13 or 2.6.x prior to 2.6.8 or 3.0.x prior to 3.0.0-rc9. It is, therefore, affected by a denial of service vulnerability in mongod due to improper validation of BSON messages. A remote, unauthenticated attacker can exploit this, via a specially crafted BSON message, to cause an uncaught exception, resulting in a denial of service condition.

Solution

Upgrade to MongoDB version 2.4.13 / 2.6.8 / 3.0.0-rc9 or later.
