pgjdbc: Unbounded PBKDF2 iterations in SCRAM authentication allows CPU exhaustion DoS

Summary pgjdbc is vulnerable to a client-side denial of service during SCRAM-SHA-256 authentication. Impact A malicious server can instruct the driver to perform SCRAM authentication with a very large iteration count. With a large enough value, the client spends an unbounded amount of CPU time...

GHSA-87PF-FPWV-P7M7 net-imap vulnerable to denial of service via high iteration count for `SCRAM-*` authentication

Summary When authenticating a connection with SCRAM-SHA1 or SCRAM-SHA256, a hostile server can perform a computational denial-of-service attack on the client process by sending a big iteration count value. Details A hostile IMAP server can send an arbitrarily large PBKDF2 iteration count in the...

CVE-2026-40542 Apache HttpClient: SCRAM-SHA-256 mutual authentication bypass may cause the client to accept authentication without proper mutual authentication verification

Missing critical step in authentication in Apache HttpClient 5.6 allows an attacker to cause the client to accept SCRAM-SHA-256 authentication without proper mutual authentication verification. Users are recommended to upgrade to version 5.6.1, which fixes this issue...
