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.
When updating room_stats_state, 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. A further PR will improve this
function so that this hopefully does not happen again in future.
Fixes: #8359
Trying to reactivate a user with the admin API (`PUT /_synapse/admin/v2/users/<user_name>`) causes an internal server error.
Seems to be a regression in #8033.
* Create a new function to verify that the length of a device name is
under a certain threshold.
* Refactor old code and tests to use said function.
* Verify device name length during registration of device
* Add a test for the above

* Fix _set_destination_retry_timings
This came about because the code assumed that retry_interval
could not be NULL — which has been challenged by catch-up.
Add ability for ASes to /login using the `uk.half-shot.msc2778.login.application_service` login `type`.

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.
