AlmaLinux released an important security update for version 8 that tackles critical flaws in the postgresql-jdbc and poppler packages. The postgresql-jdbc fix closes a client side denial of service vulnerability caused by malicious SCRAM SHA 256 authentication requests. You will also find a patched poppler library that eliminates an integer overflow bug capable of causing heap buffer overflows during PDF rendering. System administrators are strongly encouraged to apply these updates right away to keep their servers secure.
