Hi,

The following vulnerability was published for matrix-synapse.

CVE-2024-31208[0]:
| Synapse is an open-source Matrix homeserver. A remote Matrix user
| with malicious intent, sharing a room with Synapse instances before
| 1.105.1, can dispatch specially crafted events to exploit a weakness
| in the V2 state resolution algorithm. This can induce high CPU
| consumption and accumulate excessive data in the database of such
| instances, resulting in a denial of service. Servers in private
| federations, or those that do not federate, are not affected. Server
| administrators should upgrade to 1.105.1 or later. Some workarounds
| are available. One can ban the malicious users or ACL block servers
| from the rooms and/or leave the room and purge the room using the
| admin API.
