MongoDB Server: denial of service
Fix: upgrade to 8.3.9 or later (3 fixed versions below)
An internal aggregation expression in MongoDB Server was incorrectly registered as accessible to any authenticated user rather than being restricted to internal cluster operations. By crafting a malformed index specification within this expression, an authenticated user with read-only privileges could trigger an assertion failure in the index key generation code path. In certain build configurations, this assertion failure results in termination of the mongod process, causing a denial of service to all connected clients.
