Hi,

The following vulnerability was published for matrix-synapse.

CVE-2023-43796[0]:
| Synapse is an open-source Matrix homeserver Prior to versions 1.95.1
| and 1.96.0rc1, cached device information of remote users can be
| queried from Synapse. This can be used to enumerate the remote users
| known to a homeserver. System administrators are encouraged to
| upgrade to Synapse 1.95.1 or 1.96.0rc1 to receive a patch. As a
| workaround, the `federation_domain_whitelist` can be used to limit
| federation traffic with a homeserver.


If you fix the vulnerability please also make sure to include the
CVE (Common Vulnerabilities & Exposures) id in your changelog entry.
