Description Agostino Sarubbo gentoo-dev 2015-03-11 08:02:21 UTC 
From ${URL} :

It was found that the mongod server did not correctly validate certain malformed BSON requests. A 
remote, unauthenticated  attacker could use a specially crafted BSON message to crash a mongod 
server.

Thanks a lot mate.

Yes, unaffected packages are in tree already so please stabilize the following packages and drop the affected ones.

or do you want separate bug filled with depend on this one ?
