  - Symfony is a PHP framework for web and console applications and a set of reusable PHP components. Prior to
    versions 5.4.54, 6.4.46, 7.4.19, and 8.1.7, HeaderUtils::split() parsed header values with a pattern whose
    token alternative also matched whitespace, followed by a (?<!\s) lookbehind. A run of whitespace placed
    before a separator could be divided among the iterations of the enclosing repetition in exponentially many
    ways, and the engine tried all of them before settling. HeaderBag calls it for the Cache-Control header
    whenever a Request is built, so any application handling HTTP requests is reachable, with no
    authentication. A single request carrying such a header costs close to a second of CPU (813 ms for a run
    of 17 spaces in an 8 KB header on PHP 8.5, doubling with each extra space). From 18 spaces on,
    preg_match_all() gives up at pcre.backtrack_limit and split() returns an empty array, so every directive
    of the header is silently dropped. This issue affects symfony/http-foundation v4.1.0-BETA1 through
    v5.4.53, v6.0.0-BETA1 through v6.4.45, v7.0.0-BETA1 through v7.4.18, and v8.0.0-BETA1 through v8.1.6.
    (CVE-2026-108082)
