Vulnerability details
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to cause a denial of service.
The vulnerability exists due to allocation of resources without limits or throttling in IntlExtension formatter memoization when processing template-controlled formatter arguments. A remote attacker can supply many distinct locale, pattern, or formatting argument values to cause a denial of service.
On long-running runtimes where the Twig environment persists across requests, the cache can accumulate across requests, and the allocated ICU backing buffers are not bounded by PHP memory_limit.
