There is no fixed version for Echo:latest mongo-c-driver.

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.

An incorrect calculation in Decimal128 string parsing in the MongoDB C Driver can accept certain over-precision inputs containing leading zeros instead of rejecting them. This produces a value different from the supplied text. An actor who can provide a decimal string to an embedding application, including through Extended JSON parsing, can cause the application to store or use an incorrect numeric value.
