MongoDB Server vulnerability

What happened

Creating a "2dsphere_bucket" index on a non-timeseries bucket collection will succeed, but any subsequent attempt to insert a document which triggers updating that index will crash the server. A similar issue occurs when creating "queryable_encrypted_range" indices. This issue affects MongoDB Server v7.0 versions prior to 7.0.32, v8.0 versions prior to 8.0.21 and v8.2 versions prior to 8.2.6

Affected versions

MongoDB Server: 7.0 through before 7.0.32 (custom); 8.0 through before 8.0.21 (custom); 8.2 through before 8.2.6 (custom) Fixed: See vendor advisory.
