Summary
MongoDB Atlas SQL ODBC Driver from 0.0.1 before 3.0.1 contains an out-of-bounds write (CWE-787). When a database value is retrieved into a fixed-size SQL_C_GUID target, the driver copies a longer textual form without limiting the copy to the target size. A database user with basic write privileges can influence data written past the target, which may corrupt memory in the application and cause it to terminate unexpectedly.

Description from the CNA
An out-of-bounds write in the MongoDB Atlas SQL ODBC Driver may be triggered when a value of a particular database type is retrieved into a fixed-width client-side target. The driver produces a textual form of the value that is longer than the fixed target the ODBC interface defines, and copies it without limiting the copy to the target's real size. A database user with basic write privileges can influence part of the data written outside the target, which may corrupt memory in the application using the driver and cause that application to terminate unexpectedly.
