Summary
An authenticated user with basic write privileges can cause the mongod process to terminate abnormally by sending a crafted transaction command with an incomplete set of required fields. The issue stems from inconsistent validation across related transaction command parameters, resulting in a fatal internal invariant failure and denial of service.
