How to fix?

Overview

symfony/http-kernel is a Symfony component that provides a structured process for converting a Request into a Response.

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Timing Attack. When checking the signature of an URI (an ESI fragment URL for instance), the URISigner does not use a constant time string comparison function, resulting in a potential remote timing attack vulnerability.
