A major denial of service vulnerability has been identified in MongoDB affecting Ubuntu 14.04 LTS. Discovered by Eliot Horowitz, the issue arises from MongoDB's failure to validate malformed BSON, allowing remote attackers to crash the database. Additionally, sensitive information could be exposed due to improper permission handling in .dbshell history files, impacting both Ubuntu 14.04 LTS and 16.04 LTS.
