+    <h1>Problem Description:</h1>
+      <p>Affected Synapse versions assume that all events have an "origin" field set. If an event
+      without the "origin" field is sent into a federated room, servers not already joined to
+      the room will be unable to do so due to failing to fetch the malformed event.</p>
+    <h1>Impact:</h1>
+      <p>An attacker could cause a denial of service by deliberately sending a malformed event
+      into a room, thus preventing new servers (and thus their users) from joining the
+      room.</p>
