Summary
matrix-sdk-base: Panic in the `RoomMember::normalized_power_level()` method
Details

In matrix-sdk-base before 0.14.1, calling the RoomMember::normalized_power_level() method can cause a panic if a room member has a power level of Int::Min.

Patches

The issue is fixed in matrix-sdk-base 0.14.1.

Workarounds

The affected method isn’t used internally, so avoiding calling RoomMember::normalized_power_level() prevents the panic.

Severity
2.7 (Low)
