Heap out-of-bounds read via corrupt nested BSON in field path error message

Published Sep 3, 2026 · Updated Sep 4, 2026 · Assigned by mongodb

Description

An out-of-bounds read in the BSON decoding component of the MongoDB PHP driver may allow an unauthenticated party who supplies specially formed input to have a small amount of adjacent process memory copied into an error message that is returned to application code. This may result in unintended disclosure of limited memory contents.
