 James Isaac and Mathias Brodala discovered that Symfony incorrectly handled switch users functionality. An attacker could possibly use this issue to enumerate users. (CVE-2021-21424)

 It was discovered that Symfony incorrectly handled certain specially crafted CSV files. An attacker could possibly use this issue to execute arbitrary code. This issue only affected Ubuntu 20.04 ESM.
