matrix-synapse is vulnerable to Uncontrolled Resource Consumption

High Risk
This Affects:
matrix-synapseTL;DR
Synapse's existing mitigation against malicious multipart/form-data requests performs a case-sensitive check on the Content-Type header. By varying the case of the header, a client can bypass the mitigation. A crafted request then causes Synapse to rapidly exhaust all available memory and become unresponsive or be terminated, denying service to other users. The fix makes the content-type check case-insensitive.
