"The Linux/Unix host has one or more packages installed that are impacted by a vulnerability without a vendor supplied
patch available.
- A memory-handling error in the BSON-to-JSON conversion helpers of the MongoDB C Driver can write a small
number of bytes past the end of a heap buffer when a binary field is encoded and the output is cut short
at a caller-configured length limit. A party who supplies the document content, with no privileges on the
application that links the driver, may cause a small amount of data outside the intended buffer to be
altered. (CVE-2026-84969)
