Details
As written in the advisory (Markdown source, shown as plain text).
### Impact
Cached device information of remote users can be queried from Synapse. This can be used to enumerate the remote users known to a homeserver.
### Patches
System administrators are encouraged to upgrade to Synapse 1.95.1 as soon as possible.
### Workarounds
The `federation_domain_whitelist` can be used to limit federation traffic with a homeserver.
