Fixed in cauldron.

Indeed, I missed that.  Fixed in python-pymongo-2.5.2-1.mga4 in Cauldron.

Version: Cauldron => 3
Whiteboard: MGA3TOO => (none)

I applied the patch linked at the bottom of this page:
https://security-tracker.debian.org/tracker/CVE-2013-2132

It's actually the first of 4 commits mentioned on the upstream bug:
https://jira.mongodb.org/browse/PYTHON-532

So hopefully the one patch is sufficient.  We can update to 2.5.2 if anyone thinks that's more appropriate.

Note to QA: reproducers in the second comment on the upstream bug.

Advisory:
========================

Updated python-pymongo packages fix security vulnerability:

PyMongo before 2.5.2 is prone to a denial-of-service vulnerability. An
attacker can remotely trigger a NULL pointer dereference causing MongoDB
to crash (CVE-2013-2132).
