Machine-written summary

Summary written by Claude Haiku from the source advisory. Not reviewed by a person.

Symfony's symfony/symfony and symfony/yaml packages are affected in versions before 5.4.54, from 6.0.0 before 6.4.45, from 7.0.0 before 7.4.18, and from 8.0.0 before 8.1.6. An attacker can supply a YAML document with deeply nested inline collections, which exhausts the stack in the inline lexer and crashes the process or ends the request with a fatal error. Any code parsing untrusted YAML is affected, and no authentication is needed. Upgrade symfony/symfony and symfony/yaml to 5.4.54, 6.4.45, 7.4.18, or 8.1.6 according to your branch.
