mongo-go-driver has Heap Out-of-Bounds Read in GSSAPI Error Handling
Quick fix
GHSA-cp6g-7hqx-qxhp — go.mongodb.org/mongo-driver: upgrade to the fixed version with the command below.
go get go.mongodb.org/mongo-driver@v1.17.7Details
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.
