## Description

MongoDB before 2.0.9 and 2.2.x before 2.2.4 does not properly validate
requests to the nativeHelper function in SpiderMonkey, which allows remote
authenticated users to cause a denial of service (invalid memory access and
server crash) or execute arbitrary code via a crafted memory address in the
first argument.
