RHEL 6 : mongodb (RHSA-2014:0230)

medium Nessus Plugin ID 210228

Synopsis

The remote Red Hat host is missing a security update for mongodb.

Description

The remote Redhat Enterprise Linux 6 host has packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the RHSA-2014:0230 advisory.

 MongoDB is a NoSQL database.

 A buffer over-read flaw was found in the way MongoDB handled BSON data.
 A database user permitted to insert BSON data into a MongoDB server could use this flaw to read server memory, potentially disclosing sensitive data.
 (CVE-2012-6619)

 All mongodb users are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which contain a backported patch to correct this issue.

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Red Hat Enterprise Linux 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 RHEL mongodb package based on the guidance in RHSA-2014:0230.
