Upgrade Debian:13 symfony to version 6.4.41+dfsg-0+deb13u1 or higher.
NVD Description
Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream symfony package and not the symfony package as distributed by Debian.
See How to fix? for Debian:13 relevant fixed versions and status.
Symfony is a PHP framework for web and console applications and a set of reusable PHP components. Prior to 5.4.52, 6.4.40, 7.4.12, and 8.0.12, X509Authenticator extracts the user identifier from $_SERVER['SSL_CLIENT_S_DN'] with an unanchored regex that matches emailAddress= anywhere in the distinguished name, allowing an attacker with a trusted certificate containing emailAddress=victim inside another RDN value such as CN to authenticate as the victim. This issue is fixed in versions 5.4.52, 6.4.40, 7.4.12, and 8.0.12.
