Synapse 1.41.1 (2021-08-31) =========================== Due to the two security issues highlighted below, server administrators are encouraged to update Synapse. We are not aware of these vulnerabilities being exploited in the wild. Security advisory ----------------- The following issues are fixed in v1.41.1. - **[GHSA-3x4c-pq33-4w3q](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/security/advisories/GHSA-3x4c-pq33-4w3q) / [CVE-2021-39164](https://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2021-39164): Enumerating a private room's list of members and their display names.** If an unauthorized user both knows the Room ID of a private room *and* that room's history visibility is set to `shared`, then they may be able to enumerate the room's members, including their display names. The unauthorized user must be on the same homeserver as a user who is a member of the target room. Fixed by [52c7a51cf](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/commit/52c7a51cf). - **[GHSA-jj53-8fmw-f2w2](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/security/advisories/GHSA-jj53-8fmw-f2w2) / [CVE-2021-39163](https://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2021-39163): Disclosing a private room's name, avatar, topic, and number of members.** If an unauthorized user knows the Room ID of a private room, then its name, avatar, topic, and number of members may be disclosed through Group / Community features. The unauthorized user must be on the same homeserver as a user who is a member of the target room, and their homeserver must allow non-administrators to create groups (`enable_group_creation` in the Synapse configuration; off by default). Fixed by [cb35df940a](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/commit/cb35df940a), [\#10723](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/10723).

Synapse 1.37.1 (2021-06-30) =========================== This release resolves issues (such as [#9490](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/9490)) where one busy room could cause head-of-line blocking, starving Synapse from processing events in other rooms, and causing all federated traffic to fall behind. Synapse 1.37.1 processes inbound federation traffic asynchronously, ensuring that one busy room won't impact others. Please upgrade to Synapse 1.37.1 as soon as possible, in order to increase resilience to other traffic spikes. No significant changes since v1.37.1rc1. Synapse 1.37.1rc1 (2021-06-29) ============================== Features -------- - Handle inbound events from federation asynchronously. ([\#10269](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/10269), [\#10272](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/10272))
