Synapse 1.12.0 (2020-03-23)
===========================
No significant changes.
No significant changes since 1.12.0rc1.
Debian packages and Docker images are rebuilt using the letest versions of
dependency libraries, including Twisted 20.3.0. **Please see security advisory
below**.
Security advisory
-----------------
Synapse may be vulnerable to request-smuggling attacks when it is used with a
reverse-proxy. The vulnerabilties are fixed in Twisted 20.3.0, and are
described in
[CVE-2020-10108](https://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2020-10108)
and
[CVE-2020-10109](https://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2020-10109).
For a good introduction to this class of request-smuggling attacks, see
https://portswigger.net/research/http-desync-attacks-request-smuggling-reborn.
We are not aware of these vulnerabilities being exploited in the world, and
do not believe that they are exploitable with current versions of any reverse
proxies. Nevertheless, we recommend that all Synapse administrators ensure that
they have the latest versions of the Twisted library to ensure that their
installation remains secore.
* 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 1.12.0 installed: these images include
Twisted 20.3.0.
* Administrators who have [installed Synapse from
source](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/blob/master/INSTALL.md#installing-from-source)
should upgrade Twisted within their virtualenv by running:
```sh
<path_to_virtualenv>/bin/pip install 'Twisted>=20.3.0'
```
* Administrators who have installed Synapse from distribution packages should
consult the information from their distributions.
Advance notice of change to the default `git` branch for Synapse
----------------------------------------------------------------
Currently, the default `git` branch for Synapse is `master`, which tracks the
latest release.
After the release of Synapse 1.13.0, we intend to change this default to
`develop`, which is the development tip. This is more consistent with common
practice and modern `git` usage.
Although we try to keep `develop` in a stable state, there may be occasions
where regressions keep in. Developers and distributors who have scripts which
run builds using the default branch of `Synapse` should therefore consider
pinning their scripts to `master`.
