Synopsis

The remote Debian host is missing a security-related update.

Description

Jibbers McGee discovered that PyMongo, a high-performance schema-free document-oriented data store, is prone to a denial-of-service vulnerability.

An attacker can remotely trigger a NULL pointer dereference causing MongoDB to crash.

The oldstable distribution (squeeze) is not affected by this issue.

Solution

Upgrade the pymongo packages.

For the stable distribution (wheezy), this problem has been fixed in version 2.2-4+deb7u1.
