  - The MongoDB Python Driver's binary accelerator can read outside a buffer when an application decodes
    malformed BSON containing a truncated regular-expression element without a trailing NUL byte. An actor who
    can supply BSON to the documented decode or decode_all API can cause the application process to terminate
    when the C extension is loaded. The driver's normal database wire-protocol path does not reach this code.
