CVE-2022-2592: GitLab

Medium severity, CVSS 6.5. EPSS: 1.2% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.

A lack of length validation in Snippet descriptions in GitLab CE/EE affecting all versions prior to 15.1.6, 15.2 prior to 15.2.4 and 15.3 prior to 15.3.2 allows an authenticated attacker to create a maliciously large Snippet which when requested with or without authentication places excessive load on the server, potential leading to Denial of Service.

Affected products

• GitLab GitLab: before 15.1.6 (fixed in 15.1.6); from 15.2, before 15.2.4 (fixed in 15.2.4); from 15.3, before 15.3.2 (fixed in 15.3.2)
