openSUSE 16 Security Update : python-pymongo (openSUSE-SU-2026:22003-1)

high Nessus Plugin ID 362567

Synopsis

The remote openSUSE host is missing one or more security updates.

Description

The remote openSUSE 16 host has a package installed that is affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the openSUSE-SU-2026:22003-1 advisory.

 Changes in python-pymongo:

 - CVE-2026-96749: integer overflow in BSON document encoding allows an unprivileged user to write outside the bounds of an allocated buffer (bsc#1282845)
 - CVE-2026-96748: host injection in connection string leading to database connection redirection due to improper connection string parsing (bsc#1282827)
 - CVE-2026-96747: improper handling of key management endpoint values ending in `.sock` allows users with write access to the encryption key metadata to open connections to local sockets on the application host (bsc#1282844)

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

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

Solution

Update the affected python313-pymongo package.
