GitLab < 15.6.7 / 15.7 < 15.7.6 / 15.8 < 15.8.1 (CVE-2022-3759)

high Nessus Plugin ID 170953

Language:

Synopsis

The GitLab instance installed on the remote host is affected by vulnerability.

Description

The version of GitLab installed on the remote host is prior to 15.6.7, 15.7.6, 15.8.1. It is, therefore, affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the SECURITY-RELEASE-GITLAB-15-8-1-RELEASED advisory.

- An issue has been discovered in GitLab CE/EE affecting all versions starting from 14.3 before 15.6.7, all versions starting from 15.7 before 15.7.6, all versions starting from 15.8 before 15.8.1. An attacker may upload a crafted CI job artifact zip file in a project that uses dynamic child pipelines and make a sidekiq job allocate a lot of memory. In GitLab instances where Sidekiq is memory-limited, this may cause Denial of Service.

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

Solution

Upgrade to GitLab version 15.6.7, 15.7.6, 15.8.1 or later.
