CVE-2023-45129: matrix-synapse vulnerable to denial of service due to malicious server ACL events
(updated )
A malicious server ACL event can impact performance temporarily or permanently leading to a persistent denial of service.
Homeservers running on a closed federation (which presumably do not need to use server ACLs) are not affected.
