Synapse 1.47.1 (2021-11-23)
===========================
This release fixes a security issue in the media store, affecting all prior releases of Synapse. Server administrators are encouraged to update Synapse as soon as possible. We are not aware of these vulnerabilities being exploited in the wild.
Server administrators who are unable to update Synapse may use the workarounds described in the linked GitHub Security Advisory below.
Security advisory
-----------------
The following issue is fixed in 1.47.1.
- **[GHSA-3hfw-x7gx-437c](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/security/advisories/GHSA-3hfw-x7gx-437c) / [CVE-2021-41281](https://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2021-41281): Path traversal when downloading remote media.**
Synapse instances with the media repository enabled can be tricked into downloading a file from a remote server into an arbitrary directory, potentially outside the media store directory.
The last two directories and file name of the path are chosen randomly by Synapse and cannot be controlled by an attacker, which limits the impact.
Homeservers with the media repository disabled are unaffected. Homeservers configured with a federation whitelist are also unaffected.
Fixed by [91f2bd090](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/commit/91f2bd090).
Instead of only known relation types. This also reworks the background
update for thread relations to crawl events and search for any relation
type, not just threaded relations.
If `room_list_publication_rules` was configured with a rule with a
non-wildcard alias and a room was created with an alias then an
internal server error would have been thrown.
This fixes the error and properly applies the publication rules
during room creation.
Fixes a bug introduced in #11129: objects signed by the local server, but with
keys other than the current one, could not be successfully verified.
We need to check the key id in the signature, and track down the right key.
* remove code legacy code related to deprecated config flag "trust_identity_server_for_password_resets" from synapse/config/emailconfig.py
* remove legacy code supporting depreciated config flag "trust_identity_server_for_password_resets" from synapse/config/registration.py
* remove legacy code supporting depreciated config flag "trust_identity_server_for_password_resets" from synapse/handlers/identity.py
* add tests to ensure config error is thrown and synapse refuses to start when depreciated config flag is found
* add changelog
* slightly change behavior to only check for deprecated flag if set to 'true'
* Update changelog.d/11333.misc

Adds validation to the Client-Server API to ensure that
the potential thread head does not relate to another event
already. This results in not allowing a thread to "fork" into
other threads.
If the target event is unknown for some reason (maybe it isn't
visible to your homeserver), but is the target of other events
it is assumed that the thread can be created from it. Otherwise,
it is rejected as an unknown event.
Otherwise I get this beautiful stacktrace:
```
