Descriptions

Synapse is an open-source Matrix homeserver written and maintained by the Matrix.org Foundation. A malicious user on a Synapse homeserver X with permission to create certain state events can disable outbound federation from X to an arbitrary homeserver Y. Synapse instances with federation disabled are not affected. In versions of Synapse up to and including 1.73, Synapse did not limit the size of `invite_room_state`, meaning that it was possible to create an arbitrarily large invite event. Synapse 1.74 refuses to create oversized `invite_room_state` fields. Server operators should upgrade to Synapse 1.74 or newer urgently.

Synapse es un servidor doméstico Matrix de código abierto escrito y mantenido por la Fundación Matrix.org. Un usuario malicioso en un servidor doméstico X de Synapse con permiso para crear ciertos eventos de estado puede deshabilitar la federación saliente de X a un servidor doméstico Y arbitrario. Las instancias de Synapse con la federación deshabilitada no se ven afectadas. En las versiones de Synapse hasta la 1.73 inclusive, Synapse no limitaba el tamaño de `invite_room_state`, lo que significa que era posible crear un evento de invitación arbitrariamente grande. Synapse 1.74 se niega a crear campos `invite_room_state` de gran tamaño. Los operadores de servidores deben actualizar urgentemente a Synapse 1.74 o posterior.
