    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.
