Synapse 1.120.2 (2024-12-03)

This version has building of wheels for macOS disabled. It is functionally identical to 1.120.1, which contains multiple security fixes. If you are already using 1.120.1, there is no need to upgrade to this version.

Synapse 1.120.1 (2024-12-03)

This patch release fixes multiple security vulnerabilities, some affecting all prior versions of Synapse. Server administrators are encouraged to update Synapse as soon as possible. We are not aware of these vulnerabilities being exploited in the wild.

Administrators who are unable to update Synapse may use the workarounds described in the linked GitHub Security Advisory below.

Security advisory

The following issues are fixed in 1.120.1.

GHSA-rfq8-j7rh-8hf2 / CVE-2024-52805: Unsupported content types can lead to memory exhaustion

Synapse instances which have a high max_upload_size and which don't have a reverse proxy in front of them that would otherwise limit upload size are affected.

Fixed by 4b7154c58501b4bf5e1c2d6c11ebef96529f2fdf.
GHSA-f3r3-h2mq-hx2h / CVE-2024-52815: Malicious invites via federation can break a user's sync

Fixed by d82e1ed357b7ee21dff83d06cba7a67840cfd464.
GHSA-vp6v-whfm-rv3g / CVE-2024-53863: Synapse can be forced to thumbnail unexpected file formats, invoking potentially untrustworthy decoders

Synapse instances can disable dynamic thumbnailing by setting dynamic_thumbnails to false in the configuration file.

Fixed by b64a4e5fbbbf119b6c65aedf0d999b4237d55503.
GHSA-56w4-5538-8v8h / CVE-2024-53867: The Sliding Sync feature on Synapse versions between 1.113.0rc1 and 1.120.0 can leak partial room state changes to users no longer in a room

Non-state events, like messages, are unaffected.

Synapse instances can disable the Sliding Sync feature by setting experimental_features.msc3575_enabled to false in the configuration file.

Fixed by 4daa533e82f345ce87b9495d31781af570ba3ead.

See the advisories for more details. If you have any questions, email security at element.io.

Bugfixes

Fix release process to not create duplicate releases. (#17970)

Synapse 1.120.0 (2024-11-26)

Bugfixes

Fix a bug introduced in Synapse v1.120rc1 which would cause the newly-introduced delete_old_otks job to fail in worker-mode deployments. (#17960)

Synapse 1.120.0rc1 (2024-11-20)

This release enables the enforcement of authenticated media by default, with exemptions for media that is already present in the homeserver's media store.

Most homeservers operating in the public federation will not be impacted by this change, given that the large homeserver matrix.org enabled this in September 2024 and therefore most clients and servers will already have updated as a result.

Some server administrators may still wish to disable this enforcement for the time being, in the interest of compatibility with older clients and older federated homeservers. See the upgrade notes for more information.

Features

Enforce authenticated media by default. Administrators can revert this by configuring enable_authenticated_media to false. In a future release of Synapse, this option will be removed and become always-on. (#17889)
Add a one-off task to delete old One-Time Keys, to guard against us having old OTKs in the database that the client has long forgotten about. (#17934)

Improved Documentation

Clarify the semantics of the enable_authenticated_media configuration option. (#17913)
Add documentation about backing up Synapse. (#17931)

Deprecations and Removals

Remove support for MSC3886: Simple client rendezvous capability, which has been superseded by MSC4108 and therefore closed. (#17638)

Internal Changes

Addressed some typos in docs and returned error message for unknown MXC ID. (#17865)
Unpin the upload release GHA action. (#17923)
Bump macOS version used to build wheels during release, as current version used is end-of-life. (#17924)
Move server event filtering logic to Rust. (#17928)
Support new package name of PyPI package python-multipart 0.0.13 so that distro packagers do not need to work around name conflict with PyPI package multipart. (#17932)
Speed up slow initial sliding syncs on large servers. (#17946)

Synapse 1.118.0 (2024-10-29)

No significant changes since 1.118.0rc1.

Python 3.8 support will be dropped in the next release

Python 3.8 is now end-of-life. As per our Deprecation Policy for Platform Dependencies, Synapse will be dropping support for Python 3.8 in the next release; Synapse 1.119.0.

Synapse 1.112.0 (2024-07-30)

This security release is to update our locked dependency on Twisted to 24.7.0rc1, which includes a security fix for CVE-2024-41671 / GHSA-c8m8-j448-xjx7: Disordered HTTP pipeline response in twisted.web, again.

Note that this security fix is also available as Synapse 1.111.1, which does not include the rest of the changes in Synapse 1.112.0.

This issue means that, if multiple HTTP requests are pipelined in the same TCP connection, Synapse can send responses to the wrong HTTP request. If a reverse proxy was configured to use HTTP pipelining, this could result in responses being sent to the wrong user, severely harming confidentiality.

With that said, despite being a high severity issue, we consider it unlikely that Synapse installations will be affected. The use of HTTP pipelining in this fashion would cause worse performance for clients (request-response latencies would be increased as users' responses would be artificially blocked behind other users' slow requests). Further, Nginx and Haproxy, two common reverse proxies, do not appear to support configuring their upstreams to use HTTP pipelining and thus would not be affected. For both of these reasons, we consider it unlikely that a Synapse deployment would be set up in such a configuration.

Despite that, we cannot rule out that some installations may exist with this unusual setup and so we are releasing this security update today.

pip users: Note that by default, upgrading Synapse using pip will not automatically upgrade Twisted. Please manually install the new version of Twisted using pip install Twisted==24.7.0rc1. Note also that even the --upgrade-strategy=eager flag to pip install -U matrix-synapse will not upgrade Twisted to a patched version because it is only a release candidate at this time.

Internal Changes

Upgrade locked dependency on Twisted to 24.7.0rc1. (#17502)

Synapse 1.112.0rc1 (2024-07-23)

Please note that this release candidate does not include the security dependency update included in version 1.111.1 as this version was released before 1.111.1. The same security fix can be found in the full release of 1.112.0.

Synapse 1.92.3 (2023-09-18)

This is again a security update targeted at mitigating CVE-2023-4863. It turns out that libwebp is bundled statically in Pillow wheels so we need to update this dependency instead of libwebp package at the OS level.

Unlike what was advertised in 1.92.2 changelog this release also impacts PyPI wheels and Debian packages from matrix.org.

We encourage admins to upgrade as soon as possible.

Internal Changes

Pillow 10.0.1 is now mandatory because of libwebp CVE-2023-4863, since Pillow provides libwebp in the wheels. (#16347)

Updates to locked dependencies

Bump pillow from 10.0.0 to 10.0.1. (#16344)

Synapse 1.92.2 (2023-09-15)

This is a Docker-only update to mitigate CVE-2023-4863, a critical vulnerability in libwebp. Server admins not using Docker should ensure that their libwebp is up to date (if installed). We encourage admins to upgrade as soon as possible.

Updates to the Docker image

Update docker image to use Debian bookworm as the base. (#16324)

Synapse 1.92.1 (2023-09-12)

Security advisory

The following issues are fixed in 1.85.0 (and RCs).

GHSA-26c5-ppr8-f33p / CVE-2023-32682 — Low Severity

It may be possible for a deactivated user to login when using uncommon configurations.
GHSA-98px-6486-j7qc / CVE-2023-32683 — Low Severity

A discovered oEmbed or image URL can bypass the url_preview_url_blacklist setting potentially allowing server side request forgery or bypassing network policies. Impact is limited to IP addresses allowed by the url_preview_ip_range_blacklist setting (by default this only allows public IPs).

Synapse 1.84.1 (2023-05-26)

This patch release fixes a major issue with homeservers that do not have an instance_map defined but which do use workers. If you have already upgraded to Synapse 1.84.0 and your homeserver is working normally, then there is no need to update to this patch release.

Bugfixes

Internal Changes

Add dch and notify-send to the development Nix flake so that the release script can be used. (#15673)

Synapse 1.84.0 (2023-05-23)

The worker_replication_* configuration settings have been deprecated in favour of configuring the main process consistently with other instances in the instance_map. The deprecated settings will be removed in Synapse v1.88.0, but changing your configuration in advance is recommended. See the upgrade notes for more information.

Bugfixes

Fix a bug introduced in Synapse 1.84.0rc1 where errors during startup were not reported correctly on Python < 3.10. (#15599)

Synapse 1.81.0 (2023-04-11)

Synapse now attempts the versioned appservice paths before falling back to the legacy paths. Usage of the legacy routes should be considered deprecated.

Additionally, Synapse has supported sending the application service access token via the Authorization header since v1.70.0. For backwards compatibility it is also sent as the access_token query parameter. This is insecure and should be considered deprecated.

A future version of Synapse (v1.88.0 or later) will remove support for legacy application service routes and query parameter authorization.

No significant changes since 1.81.0rc2.

Synapse 1.76.0 (2023-01-31)

The 1.76 release is the first to enable faster joins (MSC3706 and MSC3902) by default. Admins can opt-out: see the upgrade notes for more details.

The upgrade from 1.75 to 1.76 changes the account data replication streams in a backwards-incompatible manner. Server operators running a multi-worker deployment should consult the upgrade notes.

Those who are poetry installing from source using our lockfile should ensure their poetry version is 1.3.2 or higher; see upgrade notes.

Notes on faster joins

The faster joins project sees the most benefit when joining a room with a large number of members (joined or historical). We expect it to be particularly useful for joining large public rooms like the Matrix HQ or Synapse Admins rooms.

After a faster join, Synapse considers that room "partially joined". In this state, you should be able to

read incoming messages;
see incoming state changes, e.g. room topic changes; and
send messages, if the room is unencrypted.

Synapse has to spend more effort to complete the join in the background. Once this finishes, you will be able to

send messages, if the room is in encrypted;
retrieve room history from before your join, if permitted by the room settings; and
access the full list of room members.
