Description
A memory corruption flaw was found in the way MongoDB handled wire protocol compression for intra-cluster communication. A privileged network attacker could potentially use this flaw to crash the MongoDB server under certain circumstances.

Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS) Score Details
Info alert:Important note
CVSS scores for open source components depend on vendor-specific factors (e.g. version or build chain). Therefore, Red Hat's score and impact rating can be different from NVD and other vendors. Red Hat remains the authoritative CVE Naming Authority (CNA) source for its products and services (see Red Hat classifications).
The following CVSS metrics and score provided are preliminary and subject to review.
