CWE-287  (opens in a new tab)

How to fix?

Upgrade Debian:unstable symfony to version 3.4.12+dfsg-1 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:unstable relevant fixed versions and status.

An issue was discovered in the Ldap component in Symfony 2.8.x before 2.8.37, 3.3.x before 3.3.17, 3.4.x before 3.4.7, and 4.0.x before 4.0.7. It allows remote attackers to bypass authentication by logging in with a "null" password and valid username, which triggers an unauthenticated bind. NOTE: this issue exists because of an incomplete fix for CVE-2016-2403.
