Hi,

The following vulnerabilities were published for sox.

CVE-2022-39236[0]:
| Matrix Javascript SDK is the Matrix Client-Server SDK for JavaScript.
| Starting with version 17.1.0-rc.1, improperly formed beacon events can
| disrupt or impede the matrix-js-sdk from functioning properly,
| potentially impacting the consumer's ability to process data safely.
| Note that the matrix-js-sdk can appear to be operating normally but be
| excluding or corrupting runtime data presented to the consumer. This
| is patched in matrix-js-sdk v19.7.0. Redacting applicable events,
| waiting for the sync processor to store data, and restarting the
| client are possible workarounds. Alternatively, redacting the
| applicable events and clearing all storage will fix the further
| perceived issues. Downgrading to an unaffected version, noting that
| such a version may be subject to other vulnerabilities, will
| additionally resolve the issue.

CVE-2022-39249[1]:
| Matrix Javascript SDK is the Matrix Client-Server SDK for JavaScript.
| Prior to version 19.7.0, an attacker cooperating with a malicious
| homeserver can construct messages appearing to have come from another
| person. Such messages will be marked with a grey shield on some
| platforms, but this may be missing in others. This attack is possible
| due to the matrix-js-sdk implementing a too permissive key forwarding
| strategy on the receiving end. Starting with version 19.7.0, the
| default policy for accepting key forwards has been made more strict in
| the matrix-js-sdk. matrix-js-sdk will now only accept forwarded keys
| in response to previously issued requests and only from own, verified
| devices. The SDK now sets a `trusted` flag on the decrypted message
| upon decryption, based on whether the key used to decrypt the message
| was received from a trusted source. Clients need to ensure that
| messages decrypted with a key with `trusted = false` are decorated
| appropriately, for example, by showing a warning for such messages.
| This attack requires coordination between a malicious homeserver and
| an attacker, and those who trust your homeservers do not need a
| workaround.

CVE-2022-39251[2]:
| Matrix Javascript SDK is the Matrix Client-Server SDK for JavaScript.
| Prior to version 19.7.0, an attacker cooperating with a malicious
| homeserver can construct messages that legitimately appear to have
| come from another person, without any indication such as a grey
| shield. Additionally, a sophisticated attacker cooperating with a
| malicious homeserver could employ this vulnerability to perform a
| targeted attack in order to send fake to-device messages appearing to
| originate from another user. This can allow, for example, to inject
| the key backup secret during a self-verification, to make a targeted
| device start using a malicious key backup spoofed by the homeserver.
| These attacks are possible due to a protocol confusion vulnerability
| that accepts to-device messages encrypted with Megolm instead of Olm.
| Starting with version 19.7.0, matrix-js-sdk has been modified to only
| accept Olm-encrypted to-device messages. Out of caution, several other
| checks have been audited or added. This attack requires coordination
| between a malicious home server and an attacker, so those who trust
| their home servers do not need a workaround.
