mongo-go-driver has Heap Out-of-Bounds Read in GSSAPI Error Handling

CVE-2026-2303 / GHSA-cp6g-7hqx-qxhp

More information

Details

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.

Severity

• CVSS Score: 6.9 / 10 (Medium)
• Vector String: CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:L/UI:P/VC:N/VI:H/VA:N/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N

Note

Low Risk
Patch-level dependency bump with no source edits; risk is limited to MongoDB client behavior where the driver is used (e.g. MongoDB credential verification).

Overview
Bumps go.mongodb.org/mongo-driver from v1.17.4 to v1.17.7 in go.mod and go.sum only—no application code changes.

The upgrade addresses CVE-2026-2303 (heap out-of-bounds read in GSSAPI/Kerberos error handling on Linux and macOS). v1.17.7 also includes intermediate v1.17.6 maintainability work from the upstream driver.
