description

PyMongo versions through 4.18.2 can read beyond an input buffer while the C BSON decoder processes malformed BSON regular-expression elements. An attacker able to provide BSON to the application's decode APIs may terminate the process when the C extension is loaded and the input uses a non-NUL-terminated buffer such as an mmap or array.

mitigation

Upgrade pymongo to version 4.18.3. Until upgrade, decode untrusted BSON only from bytes or bytearray, copying mmap or other non-NUL-terminated inputs first.

fixed in 4.18.3
