How to fix?

NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream mongo-c-driver package and not the mongo-c-driver package as distributed by Debian. See How to fix? for Debian:13 relevant fixed versions and status.

The MongoDB C Driver's legacy GridFS API accepts malformed file metadata from the database without adequate validation. Crafted documents in a GridFS collection may cause any application that reads those files via the legacy API to either crash (via a division-by-zero) or silently leak process memory contents (via an out-of-bounds read).
