MSC2134 notes

We consider three attackers:

  1. A malicious third party trying to discover the identity server mappings in the homeserver.

The malicious third party scenario can only be protected against by rate limiting lookups, given otherwise it looks identical to legitimate traffic.

  1. An attacker who has stolen an IS db

In theory the 3PIDs could be stored hashed with a static salt to protect a stolen DB. This has been descoped from this MSC, and is largely an orthogonal problem. XXX: is this the right thing to have done?

  1. A compromised or malicious identity server, who may be trying to determine the contents of a user's addressbook (including non-Matrix users)

Mini proposal for fixing aliases (MSC2260bis)

Mini proposal for fixing aliases

Problem

m.room.aliases tries to be a list of possible aliases for a given room; useful for discovering alternative routes into a room (for those already in the room), and for educating users about how Matrix works by illustrating multiple aliases per room. It also helps give a perception of the size of the network (look how many people found it useful to set an alias for this room!).

Compiling rust libraries under Catalyst (macabi) on Ventura (macOS 13.1)

Fixing rust to support compiling libraries for use with Catalyst (Dec 2022)

The problem is that rustc emits synthetic libraries (symbols.o and lib.rmeta) which Apple's ld then chokes on when targetting aarch64-apple-ios-macabi, as they lack an LC_BUILD_VERSION load command to identify them as being intended for use with Catalyst.

The errors produced look like:

ld: in /Users/matthew/workspace/matrix-rust-sdk/target/aarch64-apple-ios-macabi/dbg/deps/libstatic_assertions-fdafb4b8ba800a8a.rlib(lib.rmeta), building for Mac Catalyst, but linking in object file built for , file '/Users/matthew/workspace/matrix-rust-sdk/target/aarch64-apple-ios-macabi/dbg/deps/libstatic_assertions-fdafb4b8ba800a8a.rlib' for architecture arm64
