In MongoDB libbson 1.7.0, the bson_iter_codewscope function in bson-iter.c miscalculates a bson_utf8_validate length argument, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (heap-based buffer over-read in the bson_utf8_validate function in bson-utf8.c), as demonstrated by bson-to-json.c.

Security readout for executives and security teams

CVE-2017-14227 is a denial-of-service issue in MongoDB libbson 1.7.0. A malformed BSON input can make the library read past a heap buffer while validating UTF-8, potentially crashing software that parses untrusted BSON. Exposure is most likely where applications, services, or command-line tools use MongoDB libbson 1.7.0 to parse BSON from remote or untrusted sources. Treat as a targeted availability risk, not confirmed remote code execution. Prioritize externally exposed BSON-processing systems and downstream packaged deployments awaiting vendor fixes. Mitigation focus: Inventory systems and packages using libbson 1.7.0.; Check MongoDB, Red Hat, Debian, and distribution advisories for fixed packages.; Prioritize updates where BSON is accepted from untrusted sources..
