SCA: security update for symfony/http-foundation, symfony/symfony (GHSA-8wgj-6wx8-h5hq)

medium Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 412902

Description

There are packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability referenced in the following CVE:

 - An issue was discovered in Http Foundation in Symfony 2.7.0 through 2.7.48, 2.8.0 through 2.8.43, 3.3.0
 through 3.3.17, 3.4.0 through 3.4.13, 4.0.0 through 4.0.13, and 4.1.0 through 4.1.2. It arises from
 support for a (legacy) IIS header that lets users override the path in the request URL via the X-Original-
 URL or X-Rewrite-URL HTTP request header. These headers are designed for IIS support, but it's not
 verified that the server is in fact running IIS, which means anybody who can send these requests to an
 application can trigger this. This affects \Symfony\Component\HttpFoundation\Request::prepareRequestUri()
 where X-Original-URL and X_REWRITE_URL are both used. The fix drops support for these methods so that they
 cannot be used as attack vectors such as web cache poisoning. (CVE-2018-14773)
