Description Pedro Sampaio 2020-11-23 20:20:36 UTC

A user authorized to perform database queries may trigger denial of service by issuing specially crafted queries, which loop indefinitely in mathematics processing while retaining locks. This issue affects: MongoDB Inc. MongoDB Server v4.0 versions prior to 4.0.5; v3.6 versions prior to 3.6.10; v3.4 versions prior to 3.4.19.

Upstream bug:

https://jira.mongodb.org/browse/SERVER-38070

Comment 2 Riccardo Schirone 2020-11-30 17:05:43 UTC

Upstream patch:
https://github.com/mongodb/mongo/commit/0a076417d1d7fba3632b73349a1fd29a83e68816

Comment 3 Riccardo Schirone 2020-11-30 17:06:45 UTC

The flaw is in the ExpressionPow class. The version of mongodb as shipped in RHUI-3 does not contain that class, thus it is not affected by this flaw.

Comment 4 Yadnyawalk Tale 2020-11-30 17:33:39 UTC

Red Hat Satellite 6.6 onward does not ship the MongoDB package; however, the product consumes MongoDB from Red Hat Software Collections (RHSCL) for Red Hat Enterprise Linux. Satellite has no plans to update to a version of MongoDB released with a Server Side Public License (SSPL) which includes all versions released after October 16, 2018.
