CVE-2024-52805

Synapse allows unsupported content types to lead to memory exhaustion

CVSS 8.2 HIGHEPSS 0.7%CWE-770
Synapse is an open-source Matrix homeserver. In Synapse before 1.120.1, multipart/form-data requests can in certain configurations transiently increase memory consumption beyond expected levels while processing the request, which can be used to amplify denial of service attacks. Synapse 1.120.1 resolves the issue by denying requests with unsupported multipart/form-data content type.
