Description Guilherme de Almeida Suckevicz 2020-08-21 18:57:26 UTC
A user authorized to perform database queries may cause denial of service by issuing specially crafted queries, which violate an invariant in the query subsystem's support for geoNear. This issue affects: MongoDB Inc. MongoDB Server v4.5 versions prior to 4.5.1; v4.4 versions prior to 4.4.0-rc7; v4.2 versions prior to 4.2.8; v4.0 versions prior to 4.0.19.

Comment 8 Doran Moppert 2020-08-27 02:38:32 UTC
Red Hat Advanced Cluster Management for Kubernetes includes nodejs mongodb client, which is not affected by this flaw.  the MongoDB server is not included in this product.

Comment 9 Yadnyawalk Tale 2020-08-28 15:06:23 UTC
Statement:

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

Red Hat Update Infrastructure 3 ships an affected version of mongodb, however it does not use GeoQuery and it is not vulnerable to this flaw.

Comment 10 Yadnyawalk Tale 2020-08-28 15:12:01 UTC
At this time, we have no additional z-streams planned for Red Hat Satellite 6.5.z. Based upon that and that this is a low severity issue, closing this one as wontfix.
