PyMongo: PYTHON-5996 Heap out-of-bounds write via signed size overflow in BSON document encoding

An integer overflow in the BSON document encoding component of the MongoDB Python Driver's bundled native extension may occur when a single document is built from an unusually large amount of caller-supplied data. Size arithmetic is performed in a signed 32-bit type, and the guard meant to catch the overflow is written in a form whose behavior is not defined by the C language standard. A party with no privileges …

PyMongo: PYTHON-5990 Forced Unix domain socket connection via a .sock KMS endpoint in client-side field level encryption

PyMongo passed the KMS endpoint of a data key verbatim into parse_host(), which returns any string ending in .sock unchanged instead of validating it as a hostname and port. The driver's connection code then treats such an address as a Unix domain socket path and connects to it with AF_UNIX. Because the endpoint originates from masterKey.endpoint in a key vault document, a party who can write to the key vault …

PyMongo Out-of-bounds Read in the bson module

Versions of the package pymongo before 4.6.3 are vulnerable to Out-of-bounds Read in the bson module. Using the crafted payload the attacker could force the parser to deserialize unmanaged memory. The parser tries to interpret bytes next to buffer and throws an exception with string. If the following bytes are not printable UTF-8 the parser throws an exception with a single byte.
