Description OSIDB Bzimport 2026-05-06 16:01:34 UTC
The MongoDB C Driver's Cyrus SASL integration performs unsafe string copying during username canonicalization, enabling a heap buffer overflow before any authentication or network traffic. This may be triggered by passing untrusted input in the username of a MongoDB URI with authMechanism=GSSAPI.
