HIGH Summary
A user authorized to perform database queries may trigger denial of service by issuing specially crafted queries, which use the $mod operator to overflow negative values. This issue affects: MongoDB Inc. MongoDB Server v4.4 versions prior to 4.4.1; v4.2 versions prior to 4.2.9; v4.0 versions prior to 4.0.20; v3.6 versions prior to 3.6.20.

Common Attack Pattern Enumeration and Classification (CAPEC)
- Forced Integer Overflow This attack forces an integer variable to go out of range. The integer variable is often used as an offset such as size of memory allocation or similarly. The attacker would typically control the value of such variable and try to get it out of range. For instance the integer in question is incremented past the maximum possible value, it may wrap to become a very small, or negative number, therefore providing a very incorrect value which can lead to unexpected behavior. At worst the attacker can execute arbitrary code.
