Notes
john-breton
As of 2026-02-18, upstream has not posted a patch for this issue. Even if they did, due to the SSPL license for MongoDB we would be unable to use the patch to address this vulnerability in Ubuntu. The hope is a license-compliant third-party will make patches available in the future.
