Descriptions

Matrix Synapse before 0.28.1 is prone to a denial of service flaw where malicious events injected with depth = 2^63 - 1 render rooms unusable, related to federation/federation_base.py and handlers/message.py, as exploited in the wild in April 2018.

Matrix Synapse en versiones anteriores a la 0.28.1 es propenso a un error de denegación de servicio (DoS) en el que los eventos maliciosos inyectados con una profundidad de = 2^63 - 1 hacen que las habitaciones no puedan usarse. Esto está relacionado con federation/federation_base.py y handlers/message.py, tal y como se explotaron "in the wild" en abril de 2018.

It was discovered that Synapse incorrectly handled certain inputs. If a user or an automated system were tricked into opening a specially crafted input file, a remote attacker could possibly use this issue to cause a denial of service.
