Summary

A heap-based buffer overflow exists in the TLS transport layer of the MongoDB C Driver when built with the Windows platform TLS backend. A remote endpoint that the client connects to can cause the driver to write uncontrolled data outside the bounds of a heap allocation while processing incoming encrypted traffic after the TLS handshake completes. No authentication or user interaction is required, because the affected processing occurs before any application-level authentication completes. Triggering this issue may lead to memory corruption in the client process, disclosure of adjacent heap memory, or termination of the process.

Risk Assessment

The risk includes memory corruption in the client, which could lead to leakage of sensitive data from memory or application crashes, and potentially remote code execution.

Recommendation

Update the MongoDB C Driver to a version containing the fix or use an alternative TLS backend if possible.
