Mongodb Nmap NSE script fails

[26ayushagarwal]

Hello,

While running mongodb scripts fail with error message.

Nmap Version : 7.80

/usr/bin/../share/nmap/nselib/mongodb.lua:379: bad argument #2 to 'pack' (unsigned overflow) stack traceback: [C]: in function 'string.pack' /usr/bin/../share/nmap/nselib/mongodb.lua:379: in method 'addUnsignedInt32' /usr/bin/../share/nmap/nselib/mongodb.lua:421: in function </usr/bin/../share/nmap/nselib/mongodb.lua:416> (...tail calls...) /usr/bin/../share/nmap/scripts/mongodb-brute.nse:77: in upvalue 'needsAuth' /usr/bin/../share/nmap/scripts/mongodb-brute.nse:97: in function </usr/bin/../share/nmap/scripts/mongodb-brute.nse:95> (...tail calls...)

Thank you for reporting the issue. Could you please validate that the following minimalist patch rectifies it?

   if not status then

If yes, I would then ask you to test another patch, which is slightly larger but cleaner.
