NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream python36:3.6/python3-docutils package and not the python36:3.6/python3-docutils package as distributed by RHEL. See How to fix? for RHEL:8 relevant fixed versions and status.

Improper neutralization of special elements in data query logic in the GridFS component of the MongoDB Python Driver can cause a caller-supplied structured file identifier to be interpreted as a query condition rather than as a literal identifier. An authenticated user who can influence the identifier passed by an affected application may obtain stored file content beyond the intended target or cause all GridFS file chunks in the affected bucket to be removed, rendering stored file content unreadable. The affected rename operation may also rename a stored file other than the intended target.
