TL;DR

Synapse lets users configure push rules without any server-side limit on their number or total size. Stored push rules are loaded back into memory when fetched and when processing push rules for new events. A local user can register a very large volume of push rules, exhausting disk space and memory and denying service to other users. The fix enforces server-side size and count limits on push rules.

Who does this affect?

You are affected if you are using a version that falls within the vulnerable range and your homeserver allows untrusted local users.
