Synapse is an open source Matrix homeserver implementation. Prior to 1.152.1, local authenticated users can cause Synapse to starve other requests of CPU and lead to other requests failing, causing other users to be denied service. This vulnerability is fixed in 1.152.1.

The Linux/Unix host has one or more packages installed that are impacted by a vulnerability without a vendor supplied patch available.

  - Synapse is an open source Matrix homeserver implementation. Prior to 1.152.1, local authenticated users     can cause Synapse to starve other requests of CPU and lead to other requests failing, causing other users     to be denied service. This vulnerability is fixed in 1.152.1. (CVE-2026-45078)

Note that Nessus relies on the presence of the package as reported by the vendor.

There are packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities referenced in the following CVEs:

  - Synapse is an open source Matrix homeserver implementation. Prior to 1.152.1, in federated rooms,
    malicious homeservers can craft room events in such a way that prevents Synapse from providing full
    history to paginating clients. Clients could therefore fail to display room history. This vulnerability is
    fixed in 1.152.1. (CVE-2026-45076)

  - Synapse is an open source Matrix homeserver implementation. Prior to 1.152.1, local authenticated users
    can cause Synapse to starve other requests of CPU and lead to other requests failing, causing other users
    to be denied service. This vulnerability is fixed in 1.152.1. (CVE-2026-45078)
