chat/matrix-synapse: Update to 1.120.2
This is a security patch release.
This patch release fixes multiple security vulnerabilities, some affecting all \
prior versions of Synapse. Server administrators are encouraged to update \
Synapse as soon as possible. We are not aware of these vulnerabilities being \
exploited in the wild.
Administrators who are unable to update Synapse may use the workarounds \
described in the linked GitHub Security Advisory below.
Security advisory
The following issues are fixed in 1.120.1.
GHSA-rfq8-j7rh-8hf2 / CVE-2024-52805 (high): Unsupported content types can \
lead to memory exhaustion
Synapse instances which have a high max_upload_size and which don't have a \
reverse proxy in front of them that would otherwise limit upload size are \
affected.
Fixed by 4b7154c58501b4bf5e1c2d6c11ebef96529f2fdf.
GHSA-f3r3-h2mq-hx2h / CVE-2024-52815 (high): Malicious invites via \
federation can break a user's sync

GHSA-vp6v-whfm-rv3g / CVE-2024-53863 (high): Synapse can be forced to \
thumbnail unexpected file formats, invoking potentially untrustworthy decoders
Synapse instances can disable dynamic thumbnailing by setting \
dynamic_thumbnails to false in the configuration file.
Fixed by b64a4e5fbbbf119b6c65aedf0d999b4237d55503.
GHSA-56w4-5538-8v8h / CVE-2024-53867 (moderate): The Sliding Sync feature on \
Synapse versions between 1.113.0rc1 and 1.120.0 can leak partial room state \
changes to users no longer in a room
Non-state events, like messages, are unaffected.
Synapse instances can disable the Sliding Sync feature by setting \
experimental_features.msc3575_enabled to false in the configuration file.
Fixed by 4daa533e82f345ce87b9495d31781af570ba3ead.
Additionally, we disclose the following vulnerabilities, both have been fixed in \
Synapse 1.106.0:

disk space consumption
