 Emma [it/its] | * to the best of my understanding | 22:57:04 |
| Emma [it/its] | the patch fixes federation and handling broken rooms fwiw | 22:57:49 |
| Emma [it/its] | in particular, if either your server or any server youre joining via arent patched, the join will fail with a number out of range error | 22:58:43 |
 Sumner Evans | from what I understand, it's only outbound federation traffic that is affected. Confirming with the synapse devs | 22:59:32 |

| Sumner Evans | Redacted or Malformed Event | 23:03:46 |
| Sumner Evans | from the maintainers:
Inbound traffic can cause outbound traffic to fail across all rooms
Personally, I think this is serious enough to bump the channels. | 23:04:41 |

from what I understand, it's only outbound federation traffic that is affected. Confirming with the synapse devs. I think that if it's only possible for users on your own homeserver to cause this problem, then we don't have to bump the channel https://github.com/element-hq/synapse/security/advisories/GHSA-v56r-hwv5-mxg6 states "a malicious server" so pretty sure this is exploitable over federation | 23:05:21 |

 emily | I'd suggest asking for a bump in #infra:nixos.org. I have the technical permissions but I don't feel confident in using them unilaterally here | 23:08:07 |
| emily | e.g., it would delay the security fixes currently building on staging-next-24.11 | 23:08:18 |
| Emma [it/its] | no its caused by remote users in particular | 23:08:44 |
