symfony/http-foundation is a module for the Symphony PHP framework which defines an object-oriented layer for the HTTP specification. The `Request` class, does not parse URI with special characters the same way browsers do. As a result, an attacker can trick a validator relying on the `Request` class to redirect users to another domain. The `Request::create` methods now assert the URI does not contain invalid characters as defined by https://url.spec.whatwg.org/. This issue has been patched in versions 5.4.46, 6.4.14, and 7.1.7. Users are advised to upgrade. There are no known workarounds for this vulnerability.

The Linux/Unix host has one or more packages installed that are impacted by a vulnerability without a vendor supplied patch available.

    Oleg Andreyev, Antoine Makdessi, and Moritz Rauch discovered that Symfony incorrectly handled user     authentication. An attacker could possibly use this issue to access unauthorized resources and expose     sensitive information. This issue was only addressed in Ubuntu 24.04 LTS. (CVE-2024-50341, CVE-2024-51996)

    Linus Karlsson and Chris Smith discovered that Symfony returned internal host information during host     resolution. An attacker could possibly use this issue to obtain sensitive information. This issue only     affected Ubuntu 24.04 LTS and Ubuntu 22.04 LTS. (CVE-2024-50342)

    It was discovered that Symfony incorrectly parsed user input through regular expressions. An attacker     could possibly use this issue to expose sensitive information. (CVE-2024-50343)

    Sam Mush discovered that Symfony incorrectly parsed URIs with special characters. An attacker could     possibly use this issue to perform phishing attacks. (CVE-2024-50345)
