From fa74fcf5120998e0bdb030638ce391914198f648 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Richard van der Hoff Date: Tue, 11 Oct 2016 11:34:40 +0100 Subject: Work around email-spamming Riot bug 5d9546f9 introduced a change to synapse behaviour, in that failures in the interactive-auth process would return the flows and params data as well as an error code (as specced in https://github.com/matrix-org/matrix-doc/pull/397). That change exposed a bug in Riot which would make it request a new validation token (and send a new email) each time it got a 401 with a `flows` parameter (see https://github.com/vector-im/vector-web/issues/2447 and the fix at https://github.com/matrix-org/matrix-react-sdk/pull/510). To preserve compatibility with broken versions of Riot, grandfather in the old behaviour for the email validation stage. --- synapse/handlers/auth.py | 17 ++++++++++++++--- 1 file changed, 14 insertions(+), 3 deletions(-) diff --git a/synapse/handlers/auth.py b/synapse/handlers/auth.py index 51888d1f97..6b8de1e7cf 100644 --- a/synapse/handlers/auth.py +++ b/synapse/handlers/auth.py @@ -150,14 +150,25 @@ class AuthHandler(BaseHandler): # check auth type currently being presented errordict = {} if 'type' in authdict: - if authdict['type'] not in self.checkers: + login_type = authdict['type'] + if login_type not in self.checkers: raise LoginError(400, "", Codes.UNRECOGNIZED) try: - result = yield self.checkers[authdict['type']](authdict, clientip) + result = yield self.checkers[login_type](authdict, clientip) if result: - creds[authdict['type']] = result + creds[login_type] = result self._save_session(session) except LoginError, e: + if login_type == LoginType.EMAIL_IDENTITY: + # riot used to have a bug where it would request a new + # validation token (thus sending a new email) each time it + # got a 401 with a 'flows' field. + # (https://github.com/vector-im/vector-web/issues/2447). + # + # Grandfather in the old behaviour for now to avoid + # breaking old riot deployments. + raise e + # this step failed.
