### [john-breton](https://launchpad.net/~john-breton)

As of 2026-02-18, upstream has not posted a patch for
this issue. Even if they did, due to the SSPL license
for MongoDB we would be unable to use the patch to
address this vulnerability in Ubuntu.
The hope is a license-compliant third-party will make
patches available in the future.
