Machine-written summary

Summary written by Claude Haiku from the source advisory. Not reviewed by a person.

matrix-sdk-base versions before 0.16.0 are vulnerable. An attacker who can invite a user to a room with non-standard m.room.join_rules settings can stall the sync process, which stops further processing for all rooms. Upgrade to matrix-sdk-base 0.16.0 or later. No workaround is listed.
