[Bug 1208430] Re: mongodb runs as root user

[Mark Ramm]

Reducing the security implications of running MongoDB is an important
thing for us to do.   It's not quite critical, because nobody is asking
for it directly now, and the risk is still somewhat limited.  But there
is a risk, and I think the general policy of treating even security --
even relatively lower risk stuff -- as important is a good habit of mind
for us.

We are going to be at the center of a lot of important developments.  On
the other hand once you can control the MongoDB server, your
opportunities for privilege escalation on hosts in that environment are
probably greater in other directions.
