Server administrators are encouraged to update Synapse as soon as possible. We are not aware of these vulnerabilities being exploited in the wild. + +Server administrators who are unable to update Synapse may use the workarounds described in the linked GitHub Security Advisory below. + +## Security advisory + +The following issue is fixed in 1.61.1. + +* [GHSA-22p3-qrh9-cx32](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/security/advisories/GHSA-22p3-qrh9-cx32) / [CVE-2022-31052](https://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2022-31052) + + Synapse instances with the [`url_preview_enabled`](https://matrix-org.github.io/synapse/v1.61/usage/configuration/config_documentation.html#media-store) homeserver config option set to `true` are affected. URL previews of some web pages can lead to unbounded recursion, causing the request to either fail, or in some cases crash the running Synapse process. + + Requesting URL previews requires authentication. Nevertheless, it is possible to exploit this maliciously, either by malicious users on the homeserver, or by remote users sending URLs that a local user's client may automatically request a URL preview for. + + Homeservers with the `url_preview_enabled` configuration option set to `false` (the default) are unaffected. Instances with the `enable_media_repo` configuration option set to `false` are also unaffected, as this also disables URL preview functionality. + + Fixed by fa1308061802ac7b7d20e954ba7372c5ac292333. + Synapse 1.61.0 (2022-06-14) =========================== diff --git a/debian/changelog b/debian/changelog index 753a03065a..2ca565a157 100644 --- a/debian/changelog +++ b/debian/changelog @@ -1,3 +1,9 @@ +matrix-synapse-py3 (1.61.1) stable; urgency=medium + + * New Synapse release 1.61.1. + + -- Synapse Packaging team Tue, 28 Jun 2022 14:33:46 +0100 + matrix-synapse-py3 (1.61.0) stable; urgency=medium * New Synapse release 1.61.0. diff --git a/pyproject.toml b/pyproject.toml index 8b21bdc837..7d33c08f73 100644 --- a/pyproject.toml +++ b/pyproject.toml @@ -54,7 +54,7 @@ skip_gitignore = true [tool.poetry] name = "matrix-synapse" -version = "1.61.0" +version = "1.61.1" description = "Homeserver for the Matrix decentralised comms protocol" authors = ["Matrix.org Team and Contributors "] license = "Apache-2.0" -- cgit 1.4.1
