Synapse pagination Denial of Service

Details

### Impact

In federated rooms, malicious homeservers can craft room events in such a way that prevents Synapse from providing full history to paginating clients.

Clients could therefore fail to display room history.

### Patches

Update to Synapse 1.152.1 or later.

### Workarounds

There are no known workarounds for this issue.

### Identifiers
