Summary
The MongoDB C# Driver from 1.8.0 before 3.13.0 writes GeoJSON extra members without checking whether their names collide with reserved GeoJSON members such as type and coordinates. An application that places user-supplied field names into these extra members can store documents with duplicate geometry fields (CWE-694), so the server and the driver resolve different values for the same record. Affected records can also become unreadable through the driver, which interrupts application code that reads them.
