* Fix test_verify_json_objects_for_server_awaits_previous_requests
It turns out that this wasn't really testing what it thought it was testing
(in particular, `check_context` was turning failures into success, which was
making the tests pass even though it wasn't clear they should have been.
It was also somewhat overcomplex - we can test what it was trying to test
without mocking out perspectives servers.
* Fix warnings about finished logcontexts in the keyring
We need to make sure that we finish the key fetching magic before we run the
verifying code, to ensure that we don't mess up our logcontexts.

This adds configuration flags that will match a user to pre-existing users
when logging in via OpenID Connect. This is useful when switching to
an existing SSO system.
On startup `MultiWriteIdGenerator` fetches the maximum stream ID for
each instance from the table and uses that as its initial "current
position" for each writer. This is problematic as a) it involves either
a scan of events table or an index (neither of which is ideal), and b)
if rows are being persisted out of order elsewhere while the process
restarts then using the maximum stream ID is not correct. This could
theoretically lead to race conditions where e.g. events that are
persisted out of order are not sent down sync streams.
We fix this by creating a new table that tracks the current positions of
each writer to the stream, and update it each time we finish persisting
a new entry. This is a relatively small overhead when persisting events.
However for the cache invalidation stream this is a much bigger relative
overhead, so instead we note that for invalidation we don't actually
care about reliability over restarts (as there's no caches to
invalidate) and simply don't bother reading and writing to the new table
in that particular case.
#8037 changed the default `autoescape` option when rendering Jinja2 templates from `False` to `True`. This caused some bugs, noticeably around redirect URLs being escaped in SAML2 auth confirmation templates, causing those URLs to break for users.
This change returns the previous behaviour as it stood. We may want to look at each template individually and see whether autoescaping is a good idea at some point, but for now lets just fix the breakage.
The idea is to remove some of the places we pass around `int`, where it can represent one of two things:
1. the position of an event in the stream; or
2. a token that partitions the stream, used as part of the stream tokens.
The valid operations are then:
1. did a position happen before or after a token;
2. get all events that happened before or after a token; and
3. get all events between two tokens.
(Note that we don't want to allow other operations as we want to change the tokens to be vector clocks rather than simple ints)
I'd like to get a better insight into what we are doing with respect to state
res. The list of state groups we are resolving across should be short (if it
isn't, that's a massive problem in itself), so it should be fine to log it in
ite entiretly.
I've done some grepping and found approximately zero cases in which the
"shortcut" code delivered the result, so I've ripped that out too.
When updating the `room_stats_state` table, we try to check for null bytes slipping in to the content for state events. It turns out we had added `guest_access` as a field to room_stats_state without including it in the null byte check.
Lo and behold, a null byte in a `m.room.guest_access` event then breaks `room_stats_state` updates.
This PR adds the check for `guest_access`.
This change adds a note and a few lines of configuration settings for Apache users to disable ModSecurity for Synapse's virtual hosts. With ModSecurity enabled and running with its default settings, Matrix clients are unable to send chat messages through the Synapse installation. With this change, ModSecurity can be disabled only for the Synapse virtual hosts.

This is a bit of a hack, as `_check_sigs_and_hash_and_fetch` is intended
for attempting to pull an event from the database/(re)pull it from the
server that originally sent the event if checking the signature of the
event fails.
During backfill we *know* that we won't have the event in our database,
however it is still useful to be able to query the original sending
server as the server we're backfilling from may be acting maliciously.
The main benefit and reason for this change however is that
`_check_sigs_and_hash_and_fetch` will drop an event during backfill if
it cannot be successfully validated, whereas the current code will
simply fail the backfill request - resulting in the client's /messages
request silently being dropped.
This is a quick patch to fix backfilling rooms that contain malformed
events. A better implementation in planned in future.
Instead of just using the most recent extremities let's pick the
ones that will give us results that the pagination request cares about,
i.e. pick extremities only if they have a smaller depth than the
pagination token.
This is useful when we fail to backfill an extremity, as we no longer
get stuck requesting that same extremity repeatedly.
Synapse 1.20.0rc4 (2020-09-16)
==============================
Synapse 1.20.0rc4 is identical to 1.20.0rc3, with the addition of the security fix that was included in 1.19.2.
slots use less memory (and attribute access is faster) while slightly
limiting the flexibility of the class attributes. This focuses on objects
which are instantiated "often" and for short periods of time.
This is *not* ready for production yet. Caveats:
1. We should write some tests...
2. The stream token that we use for events can get stalled at the minimum position of all writers. This means that new events may not be processed and e.g. sent down sync streams if a writer isn't writing or is slow.
Synapse 1.20.0rc3 (2020-09-11)
==============================
Bugfixes
--------
- Fix a bug introduced in v1.20.0rc1 where the wrong exception was raised when invalid JSON data is encountered. ([\#8291](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/8291))

This PR adds a information about forwarding `/_synapse/client` endpoints through your reverse proxy. The first of these endpoints are introduced in https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/pull/8004.
The idea here is that we pass the `max_stream_id` to everything, and only use the stream ID of the particular event to figure out *when* the max stream position has caught up to the event and we can notify people about it.
This is to maintain the distinction between the position of an item in the stream (i.e. event A has stream ID 513) and a token that can be used to partition the stream (i.e. give me all events after stream ID 352). This distinction becomes important when the tokens are more complicated than a single number, which they will be once we start tracking the position of multiple writers in the tokens.
The valid operations here are:
1. Is a position before or after a token
2. Fetching all events between two tokens
3. Merging multiple tokens to get the "max", i.e. `C = max(A, B)` means that for all positions P where P is before A *or* before B, then P is before C.
Future PR will change the token type to a dedicated type.
This PR adds a confirmation step to resetting your user password between clicking the link in your email and your password actually being reset.
This is to better align our password reset flow with the industry standard of requiring a confirmation from the user after email validation.
If a file cannot be thumbnailed for some reason (e.g. the file is empty), then
catch the exception and convert it to a reasonable error message for the client.
`pusher_pool.on_new_notifications` expected a min and max stream ID, however that was not what we were passing in. Instead, let's just pass it the current max stream ID and have it track the last stream ID it got passed.
I believe that it mostly worked as we called the function for every event. However, it would break for events that got persisted out of order, i.e, that were persisted but the max stream ID wasn't incremented as not all preceding events had finished persisting, and push for that event would be delayed until another event got pushed to the effected users.
This fixes an issue where different methods (crop/scale) overwrite each other.
This first tries the new path. If that fails and we are looking for a
remote thumbnail, it tries the old path. If that still isn't found, it
continues as normal.
This should probably be removed in the future, after some of the newer
thumbnails were generated with the new path on most deployments. Then
the overhead should be minimal if the other thumbnails need to be
regenerated.

The intention here is to change `StreamToken.room_key` to be a `RoomStreamToken` in a future PR, but that is a big enough change without this refactoring too.
This is a config option ported over from DINUM's Sydent: https://github.com/matrix-org/sydent/pull/285
They've switched to validating 3PIDs via Synapse rather than Sydent, and would like to retain this functionality.
This original purpose for this change is phishing prevention. This solution could also potentially be replaced by a similar one to https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/pull/8004, but across all `*/submit_token` endpoint.
This option may still be useful to enterprise even with that safeguard in place though, if they want to be absolutely sure that their employees don't follow links to other domains.
This removes `SourcePaginationConfig` and `get_pagination_rows`. The reasoning behind this is that these generic classes/functions erased the types of the IDs it used (i.e. instead of passing around `StreamToken` it'd pass in e.g. `token.room_key`, which don't have uniform types).
By importing from canonicaljson the simplejson module was still being used
in some situations. After this change the std lib json is consistenty used
throughout Synapse.
Fixes https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/8238
Alongside the delta file, some changes were also necessary to the codebase to remove references to the now defunct `populate_stats_process_rooms_2` background job. Thankfully the latter doesn't seem to have made it into any documentation yet :)

* Move `get_devices_with_keys_by_user` to `EndToEndKeyWorkerStore`
this seems a better fit for it.
This commit simply moves the existing code: no other changes at all.
* Rename `get_devices_with_keys_by_user`
to better reflect what it does.
* get_device_stream_token abstract method
To avoid referencing fields which are declared in the derived classes, make
`get_device_stream_token` abstract, and define that in the classes which define
`_device_list_id_gen`.
... and to show that it does something slightly different to
`_get_e2e_device_keys_txn`.
`include_all_devices` and `include_deleted_devices` were never used (and
`include_deleted_devices` was broken, since that would cause `None`s in the
result which were not handled in the loop below.
Add some typing too.
This fixes a bug where having multiple callers waiting on the same
stream and position will cause it to try and compare two deferreds,
which fails (due to the sorted list having an entry of `Tuple[int,
Deferred]`).
This is split out from https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/pull/7438, which had gotten rather large.
`LoginRestServlet` has a couple helper methods, `login_submission_legacy_convert` and `login_id_thirdparty_from_phone`. They're primarily used for converting legacy user login submissions to "identifier" dicts ([see spec](https://matrix.org/docs/spec/client_server/r0.6.1#post-matrix-client-r0-login)). Identifying information such as usernames or 3PID information used to be top-level in the login body. They're now supposed to be put inside an [identifier](https://matrix.org/docs/spec/client_server/r0.6.1#identifier-types) parameter instead.
#7438's purpose is to allow using the new identifier parameter during User-Interactive Authentication, which is currently handled in AuthHandler. That's why I've moved these helper methods there. I also moved the refactoring of these method from #7438 as they're relevant.
This ensures systemctl start matrix-synapse returns only after synapse
is actually started, which is very useful for automated deployments.

It's just a thin wrapper around two ID gens to make `get_current_token`
and `get_next` return tuples. This can easily be replaced by calling the
appropriate methods on the underlying ID gens directly.
The function is used for two purposes: 1) for subscribers of streams to
get a token they can use to get further updates with, and 2) for
replication to track position of the writers of the stream.
For streams with a single writer the two scenarios produce the same
result, however the situation becomes complicated for streams with
multiple writers. The current `MultiWriterIdGenerator` does not
correctly handle the first case (which is not an issue as its only used
for the `caches` stream which nothing subscribes to outside of
replication).
If we got an error persisting an event, we would try to remove the push actions
asynchronously, which would lead to a 'Re-starting finished log context'
warning.
I don't think there's any need for this to be asynchronous.

`/_synapse/admin` prefixes. In a future release, we will be dropping support
for accessing Synapse's Admin API using the `/_matrix/client/*` prefixes. This

**NOTE**: ensure the `nocanon` options are included.
**NOTE 2**: It appears that Synapse is currently incompatible with the ModSecurity module for Apache (`mod_security2`). If you need it enabled for other services on your web server, you can disable it for Synapse's two VirtualHosts by including the following lines before each of the two `</VirtualHost>` above:
```
<IfModule security2_module>
SecRuleEngine off
</IfModule>

Synapse exposes a health check endpoint for use by reverse proxies.
Each configured HTTP listener has a `/health` endpoint which always returns
200 OK (and doesn't get logged).
## Synapse administration endpoints
Endpoints for administering your Synapse instance are placed under
`/_synapse/admin`. These require authentication through an access token of an
admin user. However as access to these endpoints grants the caller a lot of power,
we do not recommend exposing them to the public internet without good reason.
