There is no fixed version for Ubuntu:16.04 symfony.
NVD Description
Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream symfony package and not the symfony package as distributed by Ubuntu.
See How to fix? for Ubuntu:16.04 relevant fixed versions and status.
An issue was discovered in Symfony before 2.7.38, 2.8.31, 3.2.14, 3.3.13, 3.4-BETA5, and 4.0-BETA5. The current implementation of CSRF protection in Symfony (Version >=2) does not use different tokens for HTTP and HTTPS; therefore the token is subject to MITM attacks on HTTP and can then be used in an HTTPS context to do CSRF attacks.
