Details: This release of Red Hat build of Quarkus 3.27.3.SP2 includes the following CVE fix: * pgjdbc: pgjdbc: Client-side Denial of Service via malicious SCRAM-SHA-256 authentication [quarkus-3.27] (CVE-2026-42198) For more information, see the release notes page listed in the References section.

A flaw was found in pgjdbc, an open-source PostgreSQL JDBC Driver. A malicious server can exploit this vulnerability by instructing the driver to perform SCRAM-SHA-256 (Salted Challenge Response Authentication Mechanism Secure Hash Algorithm 256) authentication with an excessively large iteration count. This causes the client to spend an unbounded amount of CPU time performing PBKDF2 (Password-Based Key Derivation Function 2) computations, leading to a client-side Denial of Service (DoS). This can exhaust client CPU resources and wedge connection pools.
