NVD Description
Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream libbson-xs-perl package and not the libbson-xs-perl package as distributed by Debian.
See How to fix? for Debian:12 relevant fixed versions and status.
In MongoDB libbson 1.7.0, the bson_iter_codewscope function in bson-iter.c miscalculates a bson_utf8_validate length argument, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (heap-based buffer over-read in the bson_utf8_validate function in bson-utf8.c), as demonstrated by bson-to-json.c.
