CVE-2021-29471: Denial of service attack via push rule patterns in matrix-synapse
(updated )
“Push rules” can specify conditions under which they will match, including event_match, which matches event content against a pattern including wildcards.
Certain patterns can cause very poor performance in the matching engine, leading to a denial-of-service when processing moderate length events.
