Description Vincent Danen 2013-07-17 15:47:16 UTC

Similar to CVE-2013-1892, it was reported [1] that MongoDB suffers from remote code execution   This flaw requires read-write access to the MongoDB database to execute arbitrary code; however it looks as though read-only access could be used to cause the database to crash.

It is unknown whether this flaw was introduced in 2.2.3 with the change to using the V8 Javascript engine, or if it also affects earlier versions.

Comment 5 Vincent Danen 2013-08-02 17:23:29 UTC

This was improperly assigned CVE-2013-4142, it should be CVE-2013-3969 instead as per http://www.openwall.com/lists/oss-security/2013/07/30/10
