Description

Clients may successfully perform a TLS handshake with a MongoDB server despite presenting a client certificate not aligning with the documented Extended Key Usage (EKU) requirements.

This issue is specific to MongoDB servers running on Windows or Apple as the expected validation behavior functions correctly on Linux systems.
