- Update to 1.41.1 (boo#1190037 boo#1190038)
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 / 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.
- GHSA-jj53-8fmw-f2w2 / 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, #10723.

Wed Jun 30 14:03:06 UTC 2021 - Marcus Rueckert <mrueckert@suse.de>
- Update to 1.37.1
This release resolves issues (such as #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.
- Features
- Handle inbound events from federation asynchronously.
(#10269, #10272)
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Tue Jun 29 10:44:06 UTC 2021 - Marcus Rueckert <mrueckert@suse.de>
- Update to 1.37.0
This release deprecates the current spam checker interface. See
the upgrade notes for more information on how to update to the
new generic module interface.
This release also removes support for fetching and renewing TLS
certificates using the ACME v1 protocol, which has been fully
decommissioned by Let's Encrypt on June 1st 2021. Admins
previously using this feature should use a reverse proxy to
handle TLS termination, or use an external ACME client (such as
certbot) to retrieve a certificate and key and provide them to
Synapse using the tls_certificate_path and tls_private_key_path
configuration settings.
- Features

(#10161)
- Remove Synapse's support for automatically fetching and
renewing certificates using the ACME v1 protocol. This
protocol has been fully turned off by Let's Encrypt for
existing installations on June 1st 2021. Admins previously
using this feature should use a reverse proxy to handle TLS
termination, or use an external ACME client (such as certbot)
to retrieve a certificate and key and provide them to Synapse
using the tls_certificate_path and tls_private_key_path
configuration settings. (#10194)

- Update to 1.35.0
- Deprecations and Removals
- The core Synapse development team plan to drop support for
the unstable API of MSC2858, including the undocumented
experimental.msc2858_enabled config option, in August 2021.
Client authors should ensure that their clients are updated
to use the stable API (which has been supported since Synapse
1.30) well before that time, to give their users time to
upgrade. (#10101)

Fri Mar 26 12:39:34 UTC 2021 - Marcus Rueckert <mrueckert@suse.de>
- Update to 1.30.1
This release is identical to Synapse 1.30.0, with the exception
of explicitly setting a minimum version of Python's Cryptography
library to ensure that users of Synapse are protected from the
recent OpenSSL security advisories, especially CVE-2021-3449.
- Internal Changes
- Enforce that `cryptography` dependency is up to date to
ensure it has the most recent openssl patches. (#9697)
- Note: we do not bump the cryptography dependency in our package
as we use the system OpenSSL which gets the fix.
Add dont-bump-cryptography-with-system-openssl.patch to comment
out the dependency because otherwise the newer version
requirement is enforced on startup
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Mon Mar 22 14:02:31 UTC 2021 - Marcus Rueckert <mrueckert@suse.de>
- Update to 1.30.0
Note that this release deprecates the ability for appservices to
call POST /_matrix/client/r0/register without the body parameter
type. Appservice developers should use a type value of
m.login.application_service as per the spec. In future releases,
calling this endpoint with an access token - but without a
m.login.application_service type - will fail.
- Features

registering and logging in. (#9510, #9511, #9573)
- Add synapse_federation_last_sent_pdu_time and
synapse_federation_last_received_pdu_time prometheus metrics,
which monitor federation delays by reporting the timestamps
of messages sent and received to a set of remote servers.

images with transparency: TypeError: cannot unpack
non-iterable int object. (#9473)
- Purge chain cover indexes for events that were purged prior
to Synapse v1.29.0. (#9542, #9583)

- Update to 1.28.0
This release fixes the documentation included in v1.27.0 around
the callback URI for SAML2 identity providers. If your server is
configured to use single sign-on via a SAML2 IdP, you may need to
make configuration changes. Please review UPGRADE.rst for more
details on these changes.
Removal warning
- The v1 list accounts API is deprecated and will be removed in a
future release. This API was undocumented and misleading. It
can be replaced by the v2 list accounts API, which has been
available since Synapse 1.7.0 (2019-12-13).
- Please check if you're using any scripts which use the admin
API and replace GET /_synapse/admin/v1/users/<user_id> with GET
/_synapse/admin/v2/users.

'NoneType' object has no attribute 'xpath'" and "ValueError:
Unicode strings with encoding declaration are not supported.
Please use bytes input or XML fragments without
declaration.". (#9333)
- Fix a bug causing Synapse to impose the wrong type
constraints on fields when processing responses from
appservices to /_matrix/app/v1/thirdparty/user/{protocol}.
(#9361)
- Fix bug where Synapse would occasionally stop reconnecting to
Redis after the connection was lost. (#9391)
- Fix a long-standing bug when upgrading a room: "TypeError:
'>' not supported between instances of 'NoneType' and 'int'".
(#9395)

-------------------------------------------------------------------
Tue Feb 16 14:12:41 UTC 2021 - Marcus Rueckert <mrueckert@suse.de>
- Update to 1.27.0
Note that this release includes a change in Synapse to use Redis
as a cache ─ as well as a pub/sub mechanism ─ if Redis support is
enabled for workers. No action is needed by server
administrators, and we do not expect resource usage of the Redis
instance to change dramatically.
This release also changes the callback URI for OpenID Connect
(OIDC) identity providers. If your server is configured to use
single sign-on via an OIDC/OAuth2 IdP, you may need to make
configuration changes. Please review UPGRADE.rst for more details
on these changes.
This release also changes escaping of variables in the HTML
templates for SSO or email notifications. If you have customised
these templates, please review UPGRADE.rst for more details on
these changes.

Wed Jan 13 12:28:54 UTC 2021 - Marcus Rueckert <mrueckert@suse.de>
- Update to 1.25.0
Ending Support for Python 3.5 and Postgres 9.5 With this release,
the Synapse team is announcing a formal deprecation policy for
our platform dependencies, like Python and PostgreSQL:
All future releases of Synapse will follow the upstream
end-of-life schedules.
Which means:
This is the last release which guarantees support for Python 3.5.
We will end support for PostgreSQL 9.5 early next month. We will
end support for Python 3.6 and PostgreSQL 9.6 near the end of the
year. Crucially, this means we will not produce .deb packages
for Debian 9 (Stretch) or Ubuntu 16.04 (Xenial) beyond the
transition period described below.
The website https://endoflife.date/ has convenient summaries of
the support schedules for projects like Python and PostgreSQL.
If you are unable to upgrade your environment to a supported
version of Python or Postgres, we encourage you to consider using
the Synapse Docker images instead.
Transition Period We will make a good faith attempt to avoid
breaking compatibility in all releases through the end of March
2021. However, critical security vulnerabilities in dependencies
or other unanticipated circumstances may arise which necessitate
breaking compatibility earlier.
We intend to continue producing .deb packages for Debian 9
(Stretch) and Ubuntu 16.04 (Xenial) through the transition
period.
Removal warning The old Purge Room API and Shutdown Room API are
deprecated and will be removed in a future release. They will be
replaced by the Delete Room APIe
POST /_synapse/admin/v1/rooms/<room_id>/delete replaces
POST /_synapse/admin/v1/purge_room and
POST /_synapse/admin/v1/shutdown_room/<room_id>.

Wed Dec 9 11:34:37 UTC 2020 - Marcus Rueckert <mrueckert@suse.de>
- Update to 1.24.0
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
- There is a denial of service attack (CVE-2020-26257) against
the federation APIs in which future events will not be
correctly sent to other servers over federation. This affects
all servers that participate in open federation. (Fixed in
#8776).
- Synapse may be affected by OpenSSL CVE-2020-1971.
Synapse administrators should ensure that they have the
latest versions of the cryptography Python package installed.
- Features
- Add admin API for logging in as a user. (#8617)
- Allow specification of the SAML IdP if the metadata returns
multiple IdPs. (#8630)

OpenID Connect mapping providers. (#8801, #8855)
- Allow the Date header through CORS. Contributed by Nicolas
Chamo. (#8804)
- Add a config option, push.group_by_unread_count, which
controls whether unread message counts in push notifications
are defined as "the number of rooms with unread messages" or
"total unread messages". (#8820)
- Add force_purge option to delete-room admin api. (#8843)
- Bugfixes
- Fix a regression in v1.24.0rc1 which failed to allow SAML
mapping providers which were unable to redirect users to an

of read receipts and presence. Broke in v1.22.0. (#8744)
- Fix a bug in some federation APIs which could lead to
unexpected behaviour if different parameters were set in the
URI and the request body. (#8776)

- Fix a minor long-standing bug in login, where we would offer
the password login type if a custom auth provider supported
it, even if password login was disabled. (#8835)
- Fix a long-standing bug which caused Synapse to require
unspecified parameters during user-interactive
authentication. (#8848)

Thu Sep 24 19:02:21 UTC 2020 - Marcus Rueckert <mrueckert@suse.de>
- Update to 1.20.1
- Bugfixes
- Fix a bug introduced in v1.20.0 which caused the
synapse_port_db script to fail. (#8386)
- Fix a bug introduced in v1.20.0 which caused variables to be
incorrectly escaped in Jinja2 templates. (#8394)
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Fri Sep 18 16:29:17 UTC 2020 - Marcus Rueckert <mrueckert@suse.de>
- Update to 1.20.0
- Removal warning
- Some older clients used a disallowed character (:) in the
client_secret parameter of various endpoints. The incorrect
behaviour was allowed for backwards compatibility, but is now
being removed from Synapse as most users have updated their
client. Further context can be found at #6766.
- Historically, the Synapse Admin API has been accessible under
the prefixes:
/_matrix/client/api/v1/admin,
/_matrix/client/unstable/admin,
/_matrix/client/r0/admin
/_synapse/admin
In a future release, we will be dropping support for
accessing Synapse's Admin API using the /_matrix/client/*
prefixes. This makes it easier for homeserver admins to lock
down external access to the Admin API endpoints.
- Features
- Add flags to the /versions endpoint for whether new rooms
default to using E2EE. (#8343)
- Add an endpoint to query your shared rooms with another user
as an implementation of MSC2666. (#7785)
- Iteratively encode JSON to avoid blocking the reactor.
(#8013, #8116)
- Add support for shadow-banning users (ignoring any message
send requests). (#8034, #8092, #8095, #8142, #8152, #8157,
#8158, #8176)
- Use the default template file when its equivalent is not
found in a custom template directory. (#8037, #8107, #8252)
- Add unread messages count to sync responses, as specified in
MSC2654. (#8059, #8254, #8270, #8274)
- Optimise /federation/v1/user/devices/ API by only returning
devices with encryption keys. (#8198)
- Bugfixes
- Fix rate limiting of federation /send requests. (#8342)
- Fix a longstanding bug where back pagination over federation
could get stuck if it failed to handle a received event.
(#8349)
- Partially mitigate bug where newly joined servers couldn't
get past events in a room when there is a malformed event.
(#8350)
- Fix joining rooms over federation that include malformed
events. (#8324)
- Fix a bug introduced in v1.20.0rc1 where the wrong exception
was raised when invalid JSON data is encountered. (#8291)
- Fix a bug introduced in v1.20.0rc1 causing some features
related to notifications to misbehave following the
implementation of unread counts. (#8280)
- Fix a memory leak by limiting the length of time that
messages will be queued for a remote server that has been
unreachable. (#7864)
- Fix Re-starting finished log context PUT-nnnn warning when
event persistence failed. (#8081)
- Synapse now correctly enforces the valid characters in the
client_secret parameter used in various endpoints. (#8101)
- Fix a bug introduced in v1.7.2 impacting message retention
policies that would allow federated homeservers to dictate a
retention period that's lower than the configured minimum
allowed duration in the configuration file. (#8104)
- Fix a long-standing bug where invalid JSON would be accepted
by Synapse. (#8106)
- Fix a bug introduced in Synapse v1.12.0 which could cause
/sync requests to fail with a 404 if you had a very old
outstanding room invite. (#8110)
- Return a proper error code when the rooms of an invalid group
are requested. (#8129)
- Fix a bug which could cause a leaked postgres connection if
synapse was set to daemonize. (#8131)
- Clarify the error code if a user tries to register with a
numeric ID. This bug was introduced in v1.15.0. (#8135)
- Fix a bug where appservices with ratelimiting disabled would
still be ratelimited when joining rooms. This bug was
introduced in v1.19.0. (#8139)
- Fix logging in via OpenID Connect with a provider that uses
integer user IDs. (#8190)
- Fix a longstanding bug where user directory updates could
break when unexpected profile data was included in events.
(#8223)
- Fix a longstanding bug where stats updates could break when
unexpected profile data was included in events. (#8226)
- Fix slow start times for large servers by removing a table
scan of the users table from startup code. (#8271)
- Improved Documentation
- Link to matrix-synapse-rest-password-provider in the password
provider documentation. (#8111)

HTTP 308 redirects due to an upstream library not supporting
them. Contributed by Ryan Cole. (#8120)

- Reduce run times of some unit tests by advancing the reactor
a fewer number of times. (#7757)
- Don't fail /submit_token requests on incorrect session ID if
request_token_inhibit_3pid_errors is turned on. (#7991)

Tue May 19 14:54:57 UTC 2020 - Marcus Rueckert <mrueckert@suse.de>
- Update to 1.13.0
This release brings some potential changes necessary for certain
configurations of Synapse:
- If your Synapse is configured to use SSO and have a custom
sso_redirect_confirm_template_dir configuration option set, you
will need to duplicate the new sso_auth_confirm.html,
sso_auth_success.html and sso_account_deactivated.html
templates into that directory.
- Synapse plugins using the complete_sso_login method of
synapse.module_api.ModuleApi should instead switch to the
async/await version, complete_sso_login_async, which includes
additional checks. The former version is now deprecated.
- A bug was introduced in Synapse 1.4.0 which could cause the
room directory to be incomplete or empty if Synapse was
upgraded directly from v1.2.1 or earlier, to versions between
v1.4.0 and v1.12.x.
Please review UPGRADE.rst for more details on these changes and
for general upgrade guidance.
For the complete list of changes please refer to
https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/releases/tag/v1.13.0

- Update to 1.12.0
Synapse may be vulnerable to request-smuggling attacks when it is
used with a reverse-proxy. The vulnerabilties are fixed in
Twisted 20.3.0, and are described in
[CVE-2020-10108](https://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2020-10108)
and
[CVE-2020-10109](https://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2020-10109).
For a good introduction to this class of request-smuggling
attacks, see
https://portswigger.net/research/http-desync-attacks-request-smuggling-reborn.
We are not aware of these vulnerabilities being exploited in the
wild, and do not believe that they are exploitable with current
versions of any reverse proxies. Nevertheless, we recommend that
all Synapse administrators ensure that they have the latest
versions of the Twisted library to ensure that their installation
remains secure.

for details.
+ Add experimental support for updated authorization rules for aliases
events, from MSC2260.
+ Variety of E2EE improvements, most notably:
* Fix bug where querying a remote user's device keys that weren't cached
resulted in only returning a single device.
* Fix bug where Synapse didn't invalidate cache of remote users' devices
when Synapse left a room.
* Detect unknown remote devices and mark cache as stale.
* Attempt to resync remote users' devices when detected as stale.
* When a client asks for a remote user's device keys check if the local

-------------------------------------------------------------------
Thu Jan 23 16:06:38 UTC 2020 - Marcus Rueckert <mrueckert@suse.de>
- package cleanup
- make sure we have all libraries to actually install the package:
- buildrequires all runtime requirements
- (build)require python3-typing_extensions
- having it use the python package name is not really useful here.
- refreshed and renamed better-paths.patch to
matrix-synapse-1.4.1-paths.patch
- also fix existing synapse user
- group to synapse instead of nogroup
- home directory to /var/lib/matrix-synapse
- shell to /bin/false (which actually exists)
- improvements to the logging configuration:
- install copy of the current /etc/matrix-synapse/log.yaml as
/etc/matrix-synapse/log.systemd.yaml
- install /etc/matrix-synapse/log.file.yaml which logs to
/var/log/matrix-synapse/homeserver.log
- add the log directory /var/log/matrix-synapse/
- added README.SUSE
- better way to bootstrap a new config:
1. ExecStartPre would have never worked anyway
2. added %{_sbindir}/matrix-synapse-generate-config
Usage:
%{_sbindir}/matrix-synapse-generate-config servername
- fix group and shell for the synapse user
- added better-paths.patch
- put the pid file into /run/matrix-synapse/
- use a default logging config in /etc/matrix-synapse/log.yaml
to have systemd logging by default
- use full path in the service file
- actually use source 50 instead of the service file in the tarball
- make permissions tighter on the config files as it contains
passwords and other secrets:
root:synapse u=rwX,g=rX,o=

Thu Jan 23 13:45:22 UTC 2020 - Aleksa Sarai <asarai@suse.com>
- Update to 1.9.0.
WARNING: As of this release, Synapse no longer supports versions of SQLite
before 3.11, and will refuse to start when configured to use an older
version. Administrators are recommended to migrate their database to Postgres
(see instructions here).
WARNING: If your Synapse deployment uses workers, note that the reverse-proxy
configurations for the synapse.app.media_repository,
synapse.app.federation_reader and synapse.app.event_creator workers have
changed, with the addition of a few paths (see the updated configurations
here). Existing configurations will continue to work.
+ Allow admin to create or modify a user.
+ Add new quarantine media admin APIs to quarantine by media ID or by user
who uploaded the media.
+ Add a new admin API to list and filter rooms on the server.

-------------------------------------------------------------------
Fri Jul 5 15:29:57 UTC 2019 - Aleksa Sarai <asarai@suse.com>
- Update to 1.1.0.
As of v1.1.0, Synapse no longer supports Python 2, nor Postgres version 9.4.
Thus, we no longer package a Python 2 version of this package. Some other key
changes include:
* Add monthly active users to phonehome stats.
* Allow server admins to define implementations of extra rules for allowing
or denying incoming events.
* Add --data-dir and --open-private-ports options.
* The minimum TLS version used for outgoing federation requests can now be
set with federation_client_minimum_tls_version.
* Optimise devices changed query to not pull unnecessary rows from the
database, reducing database load.

- Obsolete the old split-Python packages, so that upgrading works smoothly.
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Tue Jun 25 10:48:03 UTC 2019 - Aleksa Sarai <asarai@suse.com>
- Un-Requires prometheus_client<0.4.0. The Requires made it impossible to use
matrix-synapse on openSUSE for very little good reason (prometheus metrics
will still work on post-0.4.0 prometheus_client, but with changed names).
Debian and many other distributions do the same here.
+ 0001-requirements-prometheus_client.patch
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Wed Jun 12 02:26:48 UTC 2019 - Aleksa Sarai <asarai@suse.com>
- Update to 1.0.0.
This is the first stable release of synapse. It includes a large number of
changes but the highlights are:
* Ability to configured default room version (with the default now being v4,
which has improved state resolution algorithms and event IDs).
* The complete removal of "perspectives" support, with all homeservers now
being required to use valid TLS certificates (there has been a transition
period for several months from the release of 0.99).
* Experimental support for "relations" (reactions and edits).

-------------------------------------------------------------------
Wed May 8 00:47:56 UTC 2019 - Aleksa Sarai <asarai@suse.com>
- Update to 0.99.3.2.
This includes two security fixes:
* Switch to using a cryptographically-secure random number generator for
token strings, ensuring they cannot be predicted by an attacker.
* Blacklist 0.0.0.0 and :: by default for URL previews.
The full changelog is included in
/usr/share/doc/packages/matrix-synapse/CHANGES.md.
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Sun Apr 14 18:35:48 UTC 2019 - Aleksa Sarai <asarai@suse.com>
- Update to 0.99.3.
The primary changes to previous versions are that self-signed certificates
will no longer be generated, and instead LetsEncrypt certificates will be
requested instead. Users are strongly recommended to update to this version,
because pre-0.99 servers (using self-signed certificates and the perspectives
system) will no longer be able to federate with post-1.0 servers.

/usr/share/doc/packages/matrix-synapse/CHANGES.md.

Fri May 4 11:18:46 UTC 2018 - okurz@suse.com
- Update to version v0.28.1:
* SECURITY UPDATE
Clamp the allowed values of event depth received over federation to be
[0, 2^63 - 1]. This mitigates an attack where malicious events
injected with depth = 2^63 - 1 render rooms unusable. Depth is used to
determine the cosmetic ordering of events within a room, and so the ordering
of events in such a room will default to using stream_ordering rather than depth
(topological_ordering).
This is a temporary solution to mitigate abuse in the wild, whilst a long term solution
is being implemented to improve how the depth parameter is used.
