SCA: security update for org.mongodb:mongo-java-driver, org.mongodb:mongodb-driver, org.mongodb:mongodb-driver-legacy, org.mongodb:mongodb-driver-sync (GHSA-rghw-6px2-fgwc)

medium Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 418728

Description

There are packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability referenced in the following CVE:

 - Specific versions of the Java driver that support client-side field level encryption (CSFLE) fail to
 perform correct host name verification on the KMS server’s certificate. This vulnerability in combination
 with a privileged network position active MITM attack could result in interception of traffic between the
 Java driver and the KMS service rendering Field Level Encryption ineffective. This issue was discovered
 during internal testing and affects all versions of the Java driver that support CSFLE. The Java async,
 Scala, and reactive streams drivers are not impacted. This vulnerability does not impact driver traffic
 payloads with CSFLE-supported key services originating from applications residing inside the AWS, GCP, and
 Azure network fabrics due to compensating controls in these environments. This issue does not impact
 driver workloads that don’t use Field Level Encryption. (CVE-2021-20328)
