Overview

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Out-of-bounds Write via the internal field-name-to-index mapping process in the time-series bucket catalog. An attacker can achieve arbitrary code execution by triggering an out-of-bounds memory write in the mongod process when authenticated with database write privileges.
