How to fix?

Upgrade Debian:unstable symfony to version 4.3.8+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 Symfony 2.8.0 through 2.8.50, 3.4.0 through 3.4.34, 4.2.0 through 4.2.11, and 4.3.0 through 4.3.7. If an application passes unvalidated user input as the file for which MIME type validation should occur, then arbitrary arguments are passed to the underlying file command. This is related to symfony/http-foundation (and symfony/mime in 4.3.x).
