This security release is to update our locked dependency on Twisted to 24.7.0rc1, which includes a security fix for [CVE-2024-41671 / GHSA-c8m8-j448-xjx7: Disordered HTTP pipeline response in twisted.web, again](https://github.com/twisted/twisted/security/advisories/GHSA-c8m8-j448-xjx7).
Note that this security fix is also available as **Synapse 1.111.1**, which does not include the rest of the changes in Synapse 1.112.0.
This issue means that, if multiple HTTP requests are pipelined in the same TCP connection, Synapse can send responses to the wrong HTTP request.
If a reverse proxy was configured to use HTTP pipelining, this could result in responses being sent to the wrong user, severely harming confidentiality.
With that said, despite being a high severity issue, **we consider it unlikely that Synapse installations will be affected**.
The use of HTTP pipelining in this fashion would cause worse performance for clients (request-response latencies would be increased as users' responses would be artificially blocked behind other users' slow requests). Further, Nginx and Haproxy, two common reverse proxies, do not appear to support configuring their upstreams to use HTTP pipelining and thus would not be affected. For both of these reasons, we consider it unlikely that a Synapse deployment would be set up in such a configuration.
Despite that, we cannot rule out that some installations may exist with this unusual setup and so we are releasing this security update today.
**pip users:** Note that by default, upgrading Synapse using pip will not automatically upgrade Twisted. **Please manually install the new version of Twisted** using `pip install Twisted==24.7.0rc1`. Note also that even the `--upgrade-strategy=eager` flag to `pip install -U matrix-synapse` will not upgrade Twisted to a patched version because it is only a release candidate at this time.

### Updates to locked dependencies
* Bump pillow from 10.0.0 to 10.0.1. ([\#16344](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/16344))
This is a Docker-only update to mitigate [CVE-2023-4863](https://cve.org/CVERecord?id=CVE-2023-4863), a critical vulnerability in `libwebp`. Server admins not using Docker should ensure that their `libwebp` is up to date (if installed). We encourage admins to upgrade as soon as possible.
This minor release was needed only because of CI-related trouble on [v1.92.0](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/releases/tag/v1.92.0), which was never released.

- Fix regression where using TLS for HTTP replication between workers did not work. Introduced in v1.85.0. ([\#15746](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/15746))
Note: this release only fixes a bug that stopped some deployments from upgrading to v1.85.0. There is no need to upgrade to v1.85.1 if successfully running v1.85.0.
- Fix bug in schema delta that broke upgrades for some deployments. Introduced in v1.85.0. ([\#15738](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/15738), [\#15739](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/15739))
A discovered oEmbed or image URL can bypass the `url_preview_url_blacklist` setting potentially allowing server side request forgery or bypassing network policies. Impact is limited to IP addresses allowed by the `url_preview_ip_range_blacklist` setting (by default this only allows public IPs).
See the advisories for more details. If you have any questions, email security@matrix.org.

- Bump docker/build-push-action from 3 to 4. ([\#14952](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/14952))
The 1.76 release is the first to enable faster joins ([MSC3706](https://github.com/matrix-org/matrix-spec-proposals/pull/3706) and [MSC3902](https://github.com/matrix-org/matrix-spec-proposals/pull/3902)) by default. Admins can opt-out: see [the upgrade notes](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/blob/release-v1.76/docs/upgrade.md#faster-joins-are-enabled-by-default) for more details.
The upgrade from 1.75 to 1.76 changes the account data replication streams in a backwards-incompatible manner. Server operators running a multi-worker deployment should consult [the upgrade notes](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/blob/release-v1.76/docs/upgrade.md#changes-to-the-account-data-replication-streams).
Those who are `poetry install`ing from source using our lockfile should ensure their poetry version is 1.3.2 or higher; [see upgrade notes](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/blob/release-v1.76/docs/upgrade.md#minimum-version-of-poetry-is-now-132).
The faster joins project sees the most benefit when joining a room with a large number of members (joined or historical). We expect it to be particularly useful for joining large public rooms like the [Matrix HQ](https://matrix.to/#/#matrix:matrix.org) or [Synapse Admins](https://matrix.to/#/#synapse:matrix.org) rooms.
- Faster joins: Fix a bug introduced in Synapse 1.69 where device list EDUs could fail to be handled after a restart when a faster join sync is in progress. ([\#14914](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/14914))

- Faster joins: always serve a partial join response to servers that request it with the stable query param. ([\#14839](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/14839))
- Faster joins: allow non-lazy-loading ("eager") syncs to complete after a partial join by omitting partial state rooms until they become fully stated. ([\#14870](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/14870))
- Faster joins: request partial joins by default. Admins can opt-out of this for the time being---see the upgrade notes. ([\#14905](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/14905))
