CVE-2012-6619  (opens in a new tab)
CWE-20  (opens in a new tab)

How to fix?

Upgrade Debian:8 mongodb to version 1:2.4.1-1 or higher.

NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream mongodb package and not the mongodb package as distributed by Debian. See How to fix? for Debian:8 relevant fixed versions and status.

The default configuration for MongoDB before 2.3.2 does not validate objects, which allows remote authenticated users to cause a denial of service (crash) or read system memory via a crafted BSON object in the column name in an insert command, which triggers a buffer over-read.
