Details

Synapse is a Matrix reference homeserver written in python (pypi package matrix-synapse). Matrix is an ecosystem for open federated Instant Messaging and VoIP. In Synapse before version 1.33.2 "Push rules" can specify conditions under which they will match, including event_match, which matches event content against a pattern including wildcards. Certain patterns can cause very poor performance in the matching engine, leading to a denial-of-service when processing moderate length events. The issue is patched in version 1.33.2. A potential workaround might be to prevent users from making custom push rules, by blocking such requests at a reverse-proxy.

Severity ?

3.7 (Low) - CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:H/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:L

Summary

Denial of service attack via push rule patterns in matrix-synapse

Details

Impact

"Push rules" can specify conditions under which they will match, including event_match, which matches event content against a pattern including wildcards.

Certain patterns can cause very poor performance in the matching engine, leading to a denial-of-service when processing moderate length events.

Patches

The issue is patched by https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/commit/03318a766cac9f8b053db2214d9c332a977d226c.

Workarounds

A potential workaround might be to prevent users from making custom push rules, by blocking such requests at a reverse-proxy.
