SCA: security update for go.mongodb.org/mongo-driver, go.mongodb.org/mongo-driver/v2 (GHSA-cp6g-7hqx-qxhp)

medium Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 443526

Description

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

 - The mongo-go-driver repository contains CGo bindings for GSSAPI (Kerberos) authentication on Linux and
 macOS. The C wrapper implementation contains a heap out-of-bounds read vulnerability due to incorrect
 assumptions about string termination in the GSSAPI standard. Since GSSAPI buffers are not guaranteed to be
 null-terminated or have extra padding, this results in reading one byte past the allocated heap buffer.
 (CVE-2026-2303)

Solution

Update the go.mongodb.org/mongo-driver library and its related packages to version 1.17.7 or later.
