Description
The bson_validate function may return early on specific inputs and incorrectly report success. This behavior could result in skipping validation for BSON data, allowing malformed or invalid UTF-8 sequences to bypass validation and be processed incorrectly.

This issue affects MongoDB C Driver versions prior to 1.30.5, MongoDB C Driver version 2.0.0 and MongoDB C Driver version 2.0.1
