MongoDB 2.4 / 2.6 Denial of Service Vulnerability

high Nessus Plugin ID 126648

Language:

Synopsis

The remote database server is affected by a denial of service vulnerability.

Description

The version of the remote MongoDB server is 2.4 or 2.6. It is, therefore, affected by a denial of service vulnerability in mongod. A remote, unauthenticated attacker can exploit this, via authenticating against a non-existent database to cause a memory exhaustion, denying service to legitimate users.

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

Solution

Apply the appropriate patch or workaround per the vendor's advisory.
