Synopsis
=======
A vulnerability in Symfony may allow remote attackers to read arbitrary
files.

Background
=========
Symfony is a professional, open-source PHP5 web development framework.

Affected packages
================
    -------------------------------------------------------------------
     Package              /     Vulnerable     /            Unaffected
    -------------------------------------------------------------------
  1  dev-php/symfony              < 1.4.20                 Vulnerable!
    -------------------------------------------------------------------
     NOTE: Certain packages are still vulnerable. Users should migrate
           to another package if one is available or wait for the
           existing packages to be marked stable by their
           architecture maintainers.

Description
==========
Symfony does not properly sanitize input for upload requests.

Impact
=====
A remote attacker could send a specially crafted file upload request,
possibly resulting in disclosure of sensitive information.

Workaround
=========
There is no known workaround at this time.

Resolution
=========
Gentoo has discontinued support for Symfony. We recommend that usersunmerge Symfony:

  # emerge --unmerge "dev-php/symfony"
