Bug Fix(es):

* TRIAGE CVE-2024-24786 skopeo: golang-protobuf: encoding/protojson, internal/encoding/json: infinite loop in protojson.Unmarshal when unmarshaling certain forms of invalid JSON [rhel-9] - RHEL 9.4 0day (JIRA:RHEL-28235)

* skopeo: jose-go: improper handling of highly compressed data [rhel-9] (JIRA:RHEL-28736)
