Vulnerability Title
MongoDB C Driver Modern GridFS mongoc_gridfs_bucket_download_to_stream() Aborts Application on Malformed GridFS Metadata
Source: CVE Program / CVE List V5
Vulnerability Description
The GridFS file download API in the MongoDB C Driver does not check the result of an internal operation under certain error conditions during file retrieval. This can cause the process to terminate when stream operations continue. A user who can influence file download parameters can trigger this condition, which may result in service unavailability for applications using the affected API.
