| =========================================== | ||||
| Changes in synapse v0.28.1 (2018-05-01) | ||||
| ======================================= | ||||
| 
 | ||||
| SECURITY UPDATE | ||||
| 
 | ||||
| * Clamp the allowed values of event depth received over federation to be | ||||
|   [0, 2**63 - 1].  This mitigates an attack where malicious events | ||||
|   injected with depth = 2**63 - 1 render rooms unusable.  Depth is used to | ||||
|   determine the cosmetic ordering of events within a room, and so the ordering | ||||
|   of events in such a room will default to using stream_ordering rather than depth | ||||
|   (topological_ordering). | ||||
| 
 | ||||
|   This is a temporary solution to mitigate abuse in the wild, whilst a long solution | ||||
|   is being implemented to improve how the depth parameter is used. | ||||

| * Pin Twisted to <18.4 until we stop using the private _OpenSSLECCurve API. | ||||
