Alpine: multiple synapse packages: security update to 1.139.2-r0

medium Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 435536

Description

There are packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability referenced in the following CVE:

 - Synapse is an open source Matrix homeserver implementation. Lack of validation for device keys in Synapse
 before 1.138.3 and in Synapse 1.139.0 allow an attacker registered on the victim homeserver to degrade
 federation functionality, unpredictably breaking outbound federation to other homeservers. The issue is
 patched in Synapse 1.138.3, 1.138.4, 1.139.1, and 1.139.2. Note that even though 1.138.3 and 1.139.1 fix
 the vulnerability, they inadvertently introduced an unrelated regression. For this reason, the maintainers
 of Synapse recommend skipping these releases and upgrading straight to 1.138.4 and 1.139.2.
