From 8afddf7afec8c6ee790a10e24fe817d663bfb4ee Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Richard van der Hoff Date: Tue, 25 Sep 2018 16:34:40 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] Fix error handling for missing auth_event When we were authorizing an event, if there was no `m.room.create` in its auth_events, we would raise a SynapseError with a cryptic message, which then meant that we would bail out of processing any incoming events, rather than storing a rejection for the faulty event and moving on. We should treat the absent event the same as any other auth failure, by raising an AuthError, so that the event is marked as rejected. --- synapse/event_auth.py | 4 ++-- 1 file changed, 2 insertions(+), 2 deletions(-) diff --git a/synapse/event_auth.py b/synapse/event_auth.py index 6baeccca38..02fa46ef7f 100644 --- a/synapse/event_auth.py +++ b/synapse/event_auth.py @@ -98,9 +98,9 @@ def check(event, auth_events, do_sig_check=True, do_size_check=True): creation_event = auth_events.get((EventTypes.Create, ""), None) if not creation_event: - raise SynapseError( + raise AuthError( 403, - "Room %r does not exist" % (event.room_id,) + "No create event in auth events", ) creating_domain = get_domain_from_id(event.room_id)
