Affected: < 5.4.52 · >= 6.0.0 and < 6.4.40 · >= 7.0.0 and < 7.4.12 · >= 8.0.0 and < 8.0.12

Fixed in: 5.4.52, 6.4.40, 7.4.12, 8.0.12

Safe to downgrade to: a release before 6.0.0

1. Check installed version

apt-cache policy symfony || rpm -q symfony || symfony --version

2. UPGRADE to 5.4.52 (Debian / Ubuntu)

sudo apt update && sudo apt install --only-upgrade symfony

2. UPGRADE (RHEL / Amazon Linux / Fedora)

sudo dnf upgrade symfony

Note

Distros often backport fixes without changing the version number. Confirm with the distro advisory or changelog.

3. If no update is available yet, DOWNGRADE to a release before 6.0.0 (Debian / Ubuntu)

apt-cache madison symfony sudo apt install symfony=<VERSION_BEFORE_6.0.0> sudo apt-mark hold symfony

3. If no update is available yet, DOWNGRADE (RHEL / Amazon Linux / Fedora)

dnf --showduplicates list symfony sudo dnf downgrade symfony-<VERSION_BEFORE_6.0.0> sudo dnf versionlock add symfony

Downgrade risk

Downgrading can break dependent software and may reopen older bugs. Read the distro advisory first and test on a non-production host.

After downgrade

Restart the service, and keep the package held until a fixed release ships.
