Package : libbson-xs-perl
Version : 0.8.4-1+deb11u1
CVE ID : CVE-2017-14227 CVE-2018-16790 CVE-2023-0437 CVE-2024-6381
CVE-2024-6383 CVE-2025-0755
Several vulnerabilities have been found in libbson-xs-perl, the Perl XS
implementation of MongoDB's BSON serialization.
CVE-2017-14227
The bson_iter_codewscope function in bson-iter.c miscalculates a
bson_utf8_validate length argument, which allows remote attackers to
cause a denial of service (heap-based buffer over-read in the
bson_utf8_validate function in bson-utf8.c), as demonstrated by
bson-to-json.c.
CVE-2018-16790
_bson_iter_next_internal has a heap-based buffer over-read via a
crafted bson buffer.
CVE-2023-0437
When calling bson_utf8_validate on some inputs a loop with an exit
condition that cannot be reached may occur, i.e. an infinite loop.
CVE-2024-6381
The bson_strfreev function in the MongoDB C driver library may be
susceptible to an integer overflow where the function will try to
free memory at a negative offset. This may result in memory
corruption.
CVE-2024-6383
The bson_string_append function in MongoDB C Driver may be
vulnerable to a buffer overflow where the function might attempt to
allocate too small of buffer and may lead to memory corruption of
neighbouring heap memory.
CVE-2025-0755
The various bson_append functions in the MongoDB C driver library
may be susceptible to buffer overflow when performing operations
that could result in a final BSON document which exceeds the maximum
allowable size (INT32_MAX), resulting in a segmentation fault and
possible application crash.
For Debian 11 bullseye, these problems have been fixed in version
0.8.4-1+deb11u1.
We recommend that you upgrade your libbson-xs-perl packages.
