Synopsis

The version of GitLab installed on the remote host is affected by a vulnerability.

Description

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

 - A lack of length validation in GitLab CE/EE affecting all versions from 12.4 before 15.6.7, 15.7 before 15.7.6, and 15.8 before 15.8.1 allows an authenticated attacker to create a large Issue description via GraphQL which, when repeatedly requested, saturates CPU usage. (CVE-2022-3411)

 - A Cross Site Request Forgery issue has been discovered in GitLab CE/EE affecting all versions before 15.6.7, all versions starting from 15.7 before 15.7.6, and all versions starting from 15.8 before 15.8.1.
 An attacker could take over a project if an Owner or Maintainer uploads a file to a malicious project.
 (CVE-2022-4138)

 - 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. (CVE-2022-3759)

 - An issue has been discovered in GitLab CE/EE affecting all versions starting from 14.0 before 15.6.7, all versions starting from 15.7 before 15.7.6, all versions starting from 15.8 before 15.8.1. It was possible to trigger a DoS attack by uploading a malicious Helm chart. (CVE-2023-0518)

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 or later.
