CVE-2024-52791
For users unable to upgrade; forward proxies can be configured to block requests to unsafe hosts.
Does this matter?
High impact if exploited, but EPSS currently rates exploitation as unlikely (0.76%). Schedule it in the normal patch cycle and watch for a rise in EPSS or a public exploit.
Description
Matrix Media Repo (MMR) is a highly configurable multi-homeserver media repository for Matrix. MMR makes requests to other servers as part of normal operation, and these resource owners can return large amounts of JSON back to MMR for parsing. In parsing, MMR can consume large amounts of memory and exhaust available memory. This is fixed in MMR v1.3.8. Users are advised to upgrade. For users unable to upgrade; forward proxies can be configured to block requests to unsafe hosts. Alternatively, MMR processes can be configured with memory limits and auto-restart. Running multiple MMR processes concurrently can help ensure a restart does not overly impact users.
