NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream matrix-synapse package and not the matrix-synapse package as distributed by Debian.

Matrix Synapse before 0.28.1 is prone to a denial of service flaw where malicious events injected with depth = 2^63 - 1 render rooms unusable, related to federation/federation_base.py and handlers/message.py, as exploited in the wild in April 2018.
