An issue has been discovered in GitLab CE/EE affecting all versions starting from 10.8 before 15.5.7, all versions starting from 15.6 before 15.6.4, all versions starting from 15.7 before 15.7.2. An attacker may cause Denial of Service on a GitLab instance by exploiting a regex issue in how the application parses user agents.

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

  - An issue has been discovered in GitLab CE/EE affecting all versions starting from 10.8 before 15.5.7, all     versions starting from 15.6 before 15.6.4, all versions starting from 15.7 before 15.7.2. An attacker may     cause Denial of Service on a GitLab instance by exploiting a regex issue in how the application parses     user agents. (CVE-2022-4131)

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:

  - An issue has been discovered in GitLab CE/EE affecting all versions starting from 10.8 before 15.5.7, all     versions starting from 15.6 before 15.6.4, all versions starting from 15.7 before 15.7.2. An attacker may     cause Denial of Service on a GitLab instance by exploiting a regex issue in how the application parses     user agents. (CVE-2022-4131)

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 GitLab installed on the remote host is prior to 15.5.7, 15.6.4, 15.7.2. It is, therefore, affected by a denial of service vulnerability as referenced in the SECURITY-RELEASE-GITLAB-15-7-2-RELEASED advisory.

  - An issue has been discovered in GitLab CE/EE affecting all versions starting from 10.8 before 15.5.7, all     versions starting from 15.6 before 15.6.4, all versions starting from 15.7 before 15.7.2. An attacker may     cause Denial of Service on a GitLab instance by exploiting a regex issue in how the application parses     user agents. (CVE-2022-4131)

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 3a023570-91ab-11ed-8950-001b217b3468 advisory.

  - Incorrect Authorization check affecting all versions of GitLab EE from 13.11 prior to 15.5.7, 15.6 prior     to 15.6.4, and 15.7 prior to 15.7.2 allows group access tokens to continue working even after the group     owner loses the ability to revoke them. (CVE-2022-4167)

  - An issue has been discovered in GitLab CE/EE affecting all versions starting from 6.6 before 15.5.7, all     versions starting from 15.6 before 15.6.4, all versions starting from 15.7 before 15.7.2. An attacker may     cause Denial of Service on a GitLab instance by exploiting a regex issue in the submodule URL parser.
    (CVE-2022-3514)

  - An issue has been discovered in GitLab CE/EE affecting all versions starting from 15.4 before 15.5.7, all     versions starting from 15.6 before 15.6.4, all versions starting from 15.7 before 15.7.2. Due to the     improper filtering of query parameters in the wiki changes page, an attacker can execute arbitrary     JavaScript on the self-hosted instances running without strict CSP. (CVE-2022-3573)

  - An issue has been discovered in GitLab CE/EE affecting all versions before 15.5.7, all versions starting     from 15.6 before 15.6.4, all versions starting from 15.7 before 15.7.2. A crafted Prometheus Server query     can cause high resource consumption and may lead to Denial of Service. (CVE-2022-3613)

  - An issue has been discovered in GitLab CE/EE affecting all versions starting from 10.0 before 15.5.7, all     versions starting from 15.6 before 15.6.4, all versions starting from 15.7 before 15.7.2. GitLab allows     unauthenticated users to download user avatars using the victim's user ID, on private instances that     restrict public level visibility. (CVE-2022-3870)

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