Motivation for this change

Two security problems.

  • Element Web 1.7.3 (as well as the earlier release 1.7.2) fixes an issue where replying to a specially formatted message would make it seem like the replier said something they did not. Thanks to Sorunome for responsibly disclosing this via Matrix's Security Disclosure Policy.

  • Element Web 1.7.3 (as well as the earlier release 1.7.2) fixes an issue where an unexpected language ID in a code block could cause Element to crash. Thanks to SakiiR for responsibly disclosing this via Matrix's Security Disclosure Policy.

Things done
  • Tested using sandboxing (nix.useSandbox on NixOS, or option sandbox in nix.conf on non-NixOS linux)
  • Built on platform(s)
    • NixOS
    • macOS
    • other Linux distributions
  • Tested via one or more NixOS test(s) if existing and applicable for the change (look inside nixos/tests)
  • Tested compilation of all pkgs that depend on this change using nix-shell -p nixpkgs-review --run "nixpkgs-review wip"
  • Tested execution of all binary files (usually in ./result/bin/)
  • Determined the impact on package closure size (by running nix path-info -S before and after)
  • Ensured that relevant documentation is up to date
  • Fits CONTRIBUTING.md.
