  - An authorized user may crash the MongoDB server by causing buffer over-read. This can be done by issuing 
    a DDL operation while queries are being issued, under some conditions. This issue affects MongoDB Server 
    v7.0 versions prior to 7.0.25, MongoDB Server v8.0 versions prior to 8.0.15, and MongoDB Server version 
    8.2.0. (CVE-2025-11979)
