NVD Description

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

Improper state management in MongoDB libmongocrypt can cause provider-specific data to be treated as an incompatible type when cleaning up a key document containing duplicate masterKey fields. An authenticated actor who can modify key vault documents, or a server that returns such a key document, can cause invalid memory access and invalid frees in the client process. This can terminate the application or corrupt process memory.
