Synopsis

The remote SUSE host is missing a security update.

Description

The remote SUSE Linux SLES15 / openSUSE 15 host has a package installed that is affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the SUSE-SU-2024:1571-1 advisory.

- Versions of the package pymongo before 4.6.3 are vulnerable to Out-of-bounds Read in the bson module.
Using the crafted payload the attacker could force the parser to deserialize unmanaged memory. The parser tries to interpret bytes next to buffer and throws an exception with string. If the following bytes are not printable UTF-8 the parser throws an exception with a single byte. (CVE-2024-21506)

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