FreeBSD : MongoDB Server -- CWE-617: Reachable Assertion (a117f43b-2f7b-11f1-89f4-b42e991fc52e)

medium Nessus Plugin ID 305000

Synopsis

The remote FreeBSD host is missing one or more security-related updates.

Description

The version of FreeBSD installed on the remote host is prior to tested version. It is, therefore, affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the a117f43b-2f7b-11f1-89f4-b42e991fc52e advisory.

 https://jira.mongodb.org/browse/SERVER-101758 reports:

 A user with access to the cluster with a limited set of privilege actions can trigger a crash of amongod process during the limited and unpredictable window when the cluster is being promoted from a replica set to a sharded cluster. This may cause a denial of service by taking down the primary of the replica set.


Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the FreeBSD security advisory.

Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

Solution

Update the affected packages.
