This is another PR that grew out of #6739.

The existing code for checking whether a user is currently invited to a room when they want to leave the room looks like the following:

invite = await self.store.get_invite_for_local_user_in_room(
user_id=target.to_string(), room_id=room_id
) # type: Optional[RoomsForUser]
if not invite:
logger.info(
"%s sent a leave request to %s, but that is not an active room "
"on this server, and there is no pending invite",
target,
room_id,
)
raise SynapseError(404, "Not a known room")
logger.info(
"%s rejects invite to %s from %s", target, room_id, invite.sender
)
if not self.hs.is_mine_id(invite.sender):
# send the rejection to the inviter's HS (with fallback to
# local event)
return await self.remote_reject_invite(
invite.event_id, txn_id, requester, content,
)

It calls get_invite_for_local_user_in_room, which will actually query all rooms the user has been invited to, before iterating over them and matching via the room ID. It will then return a tuple of a lot of information which we pull the event ID out of.

I need to do a similar check for knocking, but this code wasn't very efficient. I then tried to write a different implementation using StateHandler.get_current_state but this actually didn't work as we haven't joined the room yet - we've only been invited to it. That means that only certain tables in Synapse have our desired invite membership state. One of those tables is local_current_membership.

So I wrote a store method that just queries that table instead, and stuck a cache on top. nevermind.

Do we need to invalidate this cache ever?

Yep! And after looking at the places this cache needs to be invalidated... it's a few.

It was a nice thought, but since this is quite a quick query I'm minded to not block a lot of work on a cache here :l

It calls `get_invite_for_local_user_in_room`, which will actually query *all* rooms the user has been invited to, before iterating over them and matching via the room ID. It will then return a tuple of a lot of information which we pull the event ID out of.

Synapse 1.24.0 (2020-12-09)
===========================

Due to the two security issues highlighted below, server administrators are
encouraged to update Synapse. We are not aware of these vulnerabilities being
exploited in the wild.

Security advisory
-----------------

The following issues are fixed in v1.23.1 and v1.24.0.

- There is a denial of service attack
  ([CVE-2020-26257](https://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2020-26257))
  against the federation APIs in which future events will not be correctly sent
  to other servers over federation. This affects all servers that participate in
  open federation. (Fixed in [#8776](matrix-org/synapse#8776)).

- Synapse may be affected by OpenSSL
  [CVE-2020-1971](https://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2020-1971).
  Synapse administrators should ensure that they have the latest versions of
  the cryptography Python package installed.

To upgrade Synapse along with the cryptography package:

* Administrators using the [`matrix.org` Docker
  image](https://hub.docker.com/r/matrixdotorg/synapse/) or the [Debian/Ubuntu
  packages from
  `matrix.org`](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/blob/master/INSTALL.md#matrixorg-packages)
  should ensure that they have version 1.24.0 or 1.23.1 installed: these images include
  the updated packages.
* Administrators who have [installed Synapse from
  source](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/blob/master/INSTALL.md#installing-from-source)
  should upgrade the cryptography package within their virtualenv by running:
  ```sh
  <path_to_virtualenv>/bin/pip install 'cryptography>=3.3'
  ```
* Administrators who have installed Synapse from distribution packages should
  consult the information from their distributions.
