Description Pedro Sampaio 2020-11-23 20:55:30 UTC

Incorrect validation of user input in the role name parser may lead to use of uninitialized memory allowing an unauthenticated attacker to use a specially crafted request to cause a denial of service. This issue affects: MongoDB Inc. MongoDB Server v4.4 versions prior to 4.4.0-rc12; v4.2 versions prior to 4.2.9.

Upstream bug:

https://jira.mongodb.org/browse/SERVER-49142

Comment 2 Yadnyawalk Tale 2020-11-30 17:39:13 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. Refer to this article for more information: https://access.redhat.com/articles/5767021
