NVD Description
Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream mongodb package and not the mongodb package as distributed by Ubuntu.

This issue affects MongoDB Server v4.0 versions prior to 4.0.11; MongoDB Server v3.6 versions prior to 3.6.14; MongoDB Server v3.4 versions prior to 3.4.22.
