CVE-2026-120954
A weakness in the BSON library's handling of a specialized binary vector data type allows an arithmetic wraparound when computing the number of elements described by an oversized attacker-supplied value. On builds where the platform word size is 32 bits, an application that parses untrusted BSON data can be made to process only a small fraction of the supplied elements while the operation reports success, producing results that disagree with byte-oriented accessors and with 64-bit builds of the same library. No authentication or user interaction is required beyond getting the application to parse the data. The impact is limited to data integrity; memory safety is not affected and no information is disclosed.
