Fedora 40: FEDORA-2024-129d8ca6fc High: Httpcomponents-Core Issues

fedora
Calendar Grey March 7, 2024
Dist Fedora Esm H88
Fedora has launched an update addressing critical type confusion vulnerabilities in httpcomponents-core and enhancing security and performance with JDK upgrades
Change for system JDK from 17 to 21

Summary

HttpCore is a set of low level HTTP transport components that can be

used to build custom client and server side HTTP services with a

minimal footprint. HttpCore supports two I/O models: blocking I/O

model based on the classic Java I/O and non-blocking, event driven I/O

model based on Java NIO.

The blocking I/O model may be more appropriate for data intensive, low

latency scenarios, whereas the non-blocking model may be more

appropriate for high latency scenarios where raw data throughput is

less important than the ability to handle thousands of simultaneous

HTTP connections in a resource efficient manner.
