Description Neal Gompa 2023-09-03 02:52:29 UTC
When signing in with a Fedora Chat account on NeoChat, I was unable to verify my session with other signed-in clients. This makes the session untrusted and prevents some clients from doing key exchange for encrypted chats.

Package Version-Release: 23.04.3-2.fc39

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install NeoChat
2. Try to verify session from Fedora Chat (Element)

Actual Results:  
The session verification process fails with NeoChat saying the keys were incorrect and Element saying the user cancelled the verification.

Expected Results:  
The session verification process works as expected.

Upstream indicated that this is fixed by rebuilding NeoChat against libquotient-0.8.1.1, which includes a fix for session verification: https://github.com/quotient-im/libQuotient/pull/682

Comment 1 Fedora Blocker Bugs Application 2023-09-03 02:55:05 UTC
Proposed as a Freeze Exception for 39-beta by Fedora user ngompa using the blocker tracking app because:

 It would be good to have the preferred Matrix client for Fedora KDE work properly with Fedora Chat and other Matrix servers, especially for E2EE chats.

Comment 10 František Zatloukal 2023-09-04 18:08:01 UTC
Discussed during the 2023-09-04 blocker review meeting: [1]

The decision to classify this bug as a RejectedFreezeException (Beta) was made:

"As neochat is not preinstalled in any image we know of, there doesn't seem to be any reason to give this an FE, it is fine being a regular update"
