The remote Fedora 38 host has packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the FEDORA-2024-7be0693731 advisory.

  • Synapse is an open-source Matrix homeserver. A remote Matrix user with malicious intent, sharing a room with Synapse instances before 1.105.1, can dispatch specially crafted events to exploit a weakness in the V2 state resolution algorithm. This can induce high CPU consumption and accumulate excessive data in the database of such instances, resulting in a denial of service. Servers in private federations, or those that do not federate, are not affected. Server administrators should upgrade to 1.105.1 or later. Some workarounds are available. One can ban the malicious users or ACL block servers from the rooms and/or leave the room and purge the room using the admin API. (CVE-2024-31208)

Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application’s self-reported version number.
