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 Echo. See How to fix? for Echo:latest relevant fixed versions and status.

A flaw in libmongoc's SCRAM authentication implementation caused the client to continue the authentication handshake and transmit the client proof even when a nonce mismatch was detected in the server's first message. An unauthorized party with a man-in-the-middle position could exploit this by injecting a crafted server-first-message containing a controlled salt and low iteration count, then capturing the resulting client proof to perform offline password cracking. This vulnerability is mitigated by TLS, which is standard in production deployments.
