An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2014-3971 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: Mongodb Mongodb. No package-level version data is available, so check the vendor advisory linked from the reference page.\n\nTask:\n1. Search the dependency manifests and lockfiles (for example package.json, package-lock.json, requirements.txt, poetry.lock, uv.lock, pom.xml, build.gradle, go.mod, Cargo.lock, Gemfile.lock) and any Dockerfiles for the affected packages, including transitive dependencies.\n2. If an affected version is in use, upgrade it to the fixed version for its release line with the project's package manager, so the lockfile is regenerated. Prefer the smallest upgrade that fixes it.\n3. If there is no fix, or the upgrade would break the build, do not guess: explain the risk and the safest workaround instead.\n4. Run the tests and summarise what changed and why.\n5. If nothing in the project is affected, say so and change nothing.\n\nReference: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2014-3971/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2014-3971/index.md)","id":"CVE-2014-3971","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2014-3971/index.md","name":"CVE-2014-3971","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-gr2p-946w-597h"],"analysis":{"component_type":"database","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["denial_of_service"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"MongoDB database","requires_auth":"none","summary":"Remote attackers can crash the MongoDB daemon by sending an invalid X.509 client certificate during authentication attempts.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"denial_of_service"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"mitre","cpe":[{"product":"mongodb","vendor":"mongodb"}],"cvss":{"score":5,"severity":"medium","source":"nvd","vector":"AV:N/AC:L/Au:N/C:N/I:N/A:P","version":"2.0"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-20","name":"Improper Input Validation"}],"description":"The CmdAuthenticate::_authenticateX509 function in db/commands/authentication_commands.cpp in mongod in MongoDB 2.6.x before 2.6.2 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (daemon crash) by attempting authentication with an invalid X.509 client certificate.","ecosystems":[],"exploits":{"exploitdb":0,"first_seen":null,"github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[],"tier":"none_known"},"has_fix":null,"headline":"Denial of service in n/a","id":"CVE-2014-3971","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":"mongodb:mongodb","products":["mongodb:mongodb"],"type":"denial_of_service","year":"2014"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":2,"next":{"headline":"Path traversal in n/a","id":"CVE-2014-3972"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Denial of service in n/a","id":"CVE-2014-3970"},"products":["n/a"],"published":"2014-12-25","related":[{"cvss_score":8.7,"headline":"MongoDB and MongoDB Server Improper Handling of Length Parameter Inconsistency","id":"CVE-2025-14847","kev_date_added":"2025-12-29","published":"2025-12-19"},{"cvss_score":9.2,"headline":"Auth bypass in MongoDB Server","id":"CVE-2026-82067","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2026-09-08"},{"cvss_score":9.2,"headline":"MongoDB Improper Input Validation in Compute Mode External Data Processing Leading to Memory Corruption","id":"CVE-2026-13072","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2026-07-22"},{"cvss_score":9.1,"headline":"Denial of service in n/a","id":"CVE-2017-15535","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2017-11-01"},{"cvss_score":9,"headline":"Improper Authentication in MongoDB Intra-Cluster Connections Allows Credential Exposure","id":"CVE-2026-18691","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2026-08-11"},{"cvss_score":8.8,"headline":"MongoDB Server may allow successful untrusted connection","id":"CVE-2024-1351","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2024-03-07"},{"cvss_score":8.7,"headline":"Denial of service in MongoDB Server","id":"CVE-2026-82064","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2026-09-08"}],"sources":[{"class":"attribution","licence":"CVE Terms of Use (MITRE)","name":"CVE List","prefix":"CVE"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"US public information, NVD API terms","name":"NVD"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"CWE Terms of Use","name":"CWE (MITRE)"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"FIRST CVSS licence","name":"CVSS (FIRST)"}],"ssvc":{"automatable":null,"exploitation":null,"technical_impact":null},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2024-08-06","vendors":["n/a"]},"summary":"Remote attackers can crash the MongoDB daemon by sending an invalid X.509 client certificate during authentication attempts.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2014-3971/"}
