Subject: CVE Request -- Symfony (php-symfony-symfony) < 1.4.20: Ability to
 read arbitrary files on the server, readable with the web server privileges

Hello Kurt, Steve, vendors,

  Symfony upstream has released 1.4.20 version:
  [1] http://symfony.com/blog/security-release-symfony-1-4-20-released

correcting one security flaw:
"An information disclosure flaw was found in the way Symfony,
an open-source PHP web framework, sanitized certain HTTP POST
request values. A remote attacker could use this flaw to obtain
(unauthorized) read access to arbitrary system files, readable
with the privileges of the web server process."

Thank you && Regards, Jan.
