patch available.

  - The Symfony Yaml components Inline and Parser, parse some YAML documents inefficiently, so that a small
    crafted document can take disproportionately long to process, keeping a PHP process busy for seconds or
    minutes, potentially causing a denial of service in Symfony versions prior to 5.4.56, 6.x prior to 6.4.50,
    7.x prior to 7.4.23, and 8.x prior to 8.1.11. The parser repeats work it has already done in several
    places. An embedded mapping in a flow sequence is parsed again for every scalar appended to it, and so are
    the collections nested in it, so the parse time grows exponentially with the nesting depth. The patterns
    matching mapping keys and tags scan a run of spaces once per character of the run, and each scalar of a
    flow collection is matched against a copy of the rest of the collection, so the parse time grows
    quadratically with the size of the input. Nested blocks are also copied at each nesting level, which
    consumes memory as well as time. A few other constructs, such as an empty sequence item followed by a
    blank line or an anchor named 0, trigger similar repeated work. Any code parsing untrusted YAML is
    affected, with the default flags. In Symfony 7.4 and later, that includes #[MapRequestPayload] when the
    Yaml component is installed and the endpoint does not restrict acceptFormat. A single unauthenticated
    request with a YAML content type keeps a PHP worker busy until max_execution_time. JSON documents are
    valid YAML, so a JSON payload sent with a YAML content type is enough for the flow collection case. In
    Symfony 6.4, #[MapRequestPayload] accepts YAML only when the application registers a yaml request format.
