Update chat/matrix-synapse to 1.24.0
72f5fd3 
Synapse 1.24.0 (2020-12-09)
===========================

Due to the two security issues highlighted below, server administrators are
encouraged to update Synapse. We are not aware of these vulnerabilities being
exploited in the wild.

Security advisory
-----------------

The following issues are fixed in v1.23.1 and v1.24.0.

- There is a denial of service attack
  ([CVE-2020-26257](https://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2020-26257))
  against the federation APIs in which future events will not be correctly sent
  to other servers over federation. This affects all servers that participate in
  open federation. (Fixed in [#8776](matrix-org/synapse#8776)).

- Synapse may be affected by OpenSSL
  [CVE-2020-1971](https://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2020-1971).
  Synapse administrators should ensure that they have the latest versions of
  the cryptography Python package installed.

To upgrade Synapse along with the cryptography package:

* Administrators using the [`matrix.org` Docker
  image](https://hub.docker.com/r/matrixdotorg/synapse/) or the [Debian/Ubuntu
  packages from
  `matrix.org`](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/blob/master/INSTALL.md#matrixorg-packages)
  should ensure that they have version 1.24.0 or 1.23.1 installed: these images include
  the updated packages.
* Administrators who have [installed Synapse from
  source](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/blob/master/INSTALL.md#installing-from-source)
  should upgrade the cryptography package within their virtualenv by running:
  ```sh
  <path_to_virtualenv>/bin/pip install 'cryptography>=3.3'
  ```
* Administrators who have installed Synapse from distribution packages should
  consult the information from their distributions.

Internal Changes
----------------

- Add a maximum version for pysaml2 on Python 3.5. ([\#8898](matrix-org/synapse#8898))


Synapse 1.24.0rc2 (2020-12-04)
==============================

Bugfixes
--------

- Fix a regression in v1.24.0rc1 which failed to allow SAML mapping providers which were unable to redirect users to an additional page. ([\#8878](matrix-org/synapse#8878))


Internal Changes
----------------

- Add support for the `prometheus_client` newer than 0.9.0. Contributed by Jordan Bancino. ([\#8875](matrix-org/synapse#8875))


Synapse 1.24.0rc1 (2020-12-02)
==============================

Features
--------

- Add admin API for logging in as a user. ([\#8617](matrix-org/synapse#8617))
- Allow specification of the SAML IdP if the metadata returns multiple IdPs. ([\#8630](matrix-org/synapse#8630))
- Add support for re-trying generation of a localpart for OpenID Connect mapping providers. ([\#8801](matrix-org/synapse#8801), [\#8855](matrix-org/synapse#8855))
- Allow the `Date` header through CORS. Contributed by Nicolas Chamo. ([\#8804](matrix-org/synapse#8804))
- Add a config option, `push.group_by_unread_count`, which controls whether unread message counts in push notifications are defined as "the number of rooms with unread messages" or "total unread messages". ([\#8820](matrix-org/synapse#8820))
- Add `force_purge` option to delete-room admin api. ([\#8843](matrix-org/synapse#8843))


Bugfixes
--------

- Fix a bug where appservices may be sent an excessive amount of read receipts and presence. Broke in v1.22.0. ([\#8744](matrix-org/synapse#8744))
- Fix a bug in some federation APIs which could lead to unexpected behaviour if different parameters were set in the URI and the request body. ([\#8776](matrix-org/synapse#8776))
- Fix a bug where synctl could spawn duplicate copies of a worker. Contributed by Waylon Cude. ([\#8798](matrix-org/synapse#8798))
- Allow per-room profiles to be used for the server notice user. ([\#8799](matrix-org/synapse#8799))
- Fix a bug where logging could break after a call to SIGHUP. ([\#8817](matrix-org/synapse#8817))
- Fix `register_new_matrix_user` failing with "Bad Request" when trailing slash is included in server URL. Contributed by @angdraug. ([\#8823](matrix-org/synapse#8823))
- Fix a minor long-standing bug in login, where we would offer the `password` login type if a custom auth provider supported it, even if password login was disabled. ([\#8835](matrix-org/synapse#8835))
- Fix a long-standing bug which caused Synapse to require unspecified parameters during user-interactive authentication. ([\#8848](matrix-org/synapse#8848))
- Fix a bug introduced in v1.20.0 where the user-agent and IP address reported during user registration for CAS, OpenID Connect, and SAML were of the wrong form. ([\#8784](matrix-org/synapse#8784))


Improved Documentation
----------------------

- Clarify the usecase for a msisdn delegate. Contributed by Adrian Wannenmacher. ([\#8734](matrix-org/synapse#8734))
- Remove extraneous comma from JSON example in User Admin API docs. ([\#8771](matrix-org/synapse#8771))
- Update `turn-howto.md` with troubleshooting notes. ([\#8779](matrix-org/synapse#8779))
- Fix the example on how to set the `Content-Type` header in nginx for the Client Well-Known URI. ([\#8793](matrix-org/synapse#8793))
- Improve the documentation for the admin API to list all media in a room with respect to encrypted events. ([\#8795](matrix-org/synapse#8795))
- Update the formatting of the `push` section of the homeserver config file to better align with the [code style guidelines](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/blob/develop/docs/code_style.md#configuration-file-format). ([\#8818](matrix-org/synapse#8818))

- Update example prometheus console. ([\#8824](matrix-org/synapse#8824))


Deprecations and Removals
-------------------------

- Remove old `/_matrix/client/*/admin` endpoints which were deprecated since Synapse 1.20.0. ([\#8785](matrix-org/synapse#8785))
- Disable pretty printing JSON responses for curl. Users who want pretty-printed output should use [jq](https://stedolan.github.io/jq/) in combination with curl. Contributed by @tulir. ([\#8833](matrix-org/synapse#8833))


Internal Changes
----------------

- Simplify the way the `HomeServer` object caches its internal attributes. ([\#8565](matrix-org/synapse#8565), [\#8851](matrix-org/synapse#8851))

- Consolidate logic between the OpenID Connect and SAML code. ([\#8765](matrix-org/synapse#8765))
- Use `TYPE_CHECKING` instead of magic `MYPY` variable. ([\#8770](matrix-org/synapse#8770))
