An issue in MongoDB Server's aggregation framework could allow an authenticated user to trigger an out-of-bounds memory read by providing a specially formed numeric parameter in a certain aggregation pipeline stage. This could result in a server crash (denial of service) and may potentially expose a limited amount of memory contents.
