A business logic issue in the handling of large repositories in all versions of GitLab CE/EE from 10.0 before 15.1.6, all versions starting from 15.2 before 15.2.4, all versions starting from 15.3 before 15.3.2 allowed an authenticated and authorized user to exhaust server resources by importing a malicious project.

The Linux/Unix host has one or more packages installed that are impacted by a vulnerability without a vendor supplied patch available.

  - A business logic issue in the handling of large repositories in all versions of GitLab CE/EE from 10.0     before 15.1.6, all versions starting from 15.2 before 15.2.4, all versions starting from 15.3 before     15.3.2 allowed an authenticated and authorized user to exhaust server resources by importing a malicious     project. (CVE-2022-2455)

Note that Nessus relies on the presence of the package as reported by the vendor.

The version of GitLab installed on the remote host is affected by a vulnerability, as follows:

  - A business logic issue in the handling of large repositories in all versions of GitLab CE/EE from 10.0     before 15.1.6, all versions starting from 15.2 before 15.2.4, all versions starting from 15.3 before     15.3.2 allowed an authenticated and authorized user to exhaust server resources by importing a malicious     project. (CVE-2022-2455)

Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

The version of FreeBSD installed on the remote host is prior to tested version. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the e6b994e2-2891-11ed-9be7-454b1dd82c64 advisory.
