Updated SQL Server JDBC driver cannot connect (PKIX path building failed)

Pre-release regression tests are currently failing with the following error when testing SQL Server with the Docker images:

com.microsoft.sqlserver.jdbc.SQLServerException: The driver could not establish a secure connection to SQL Server by using Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) encryption. Error: "PKIX path building failed: sun.security.provider.certpath.SunCertPathBuilderException: unable to find valid certification path to requested target".

This is due to the SQL Server JDBC driver having been upgraded to a much newer version with different SSL behavior. Rebuilding the Docker image using the previous version of the driver (9.4.1) does not produce the same behavior.
