Description Sam Fowler 2018-08-03 02:57:14 UTC
The Symfony PHP framework has a vulnerability in versions before 2.7.49, 2.8.44, 3.3.18, 3.4.14, 4.0.14, and 4.1.3. Support for a (legacy) IIS header that lets users override the path in the request URL via the X-Original-URL or X-Rewrite-URL HTTP request header allows a user to access one URL but have Symfony return a different one which can bypass restrictions on higher level caches and web servers.

The fix drops support for these two obsolete IIS headers: X-Original-URL and X_REWRITE_URL.
