Summary
GitLab CE and EE from 7.0 before 18.11.13, 19.0 before 19.0.10, 19.1 before 19.1.9, 19.2 before 19.2.9, 19.3 before 19.3.6, 19.4 before 19.4.3, and 19.5 before 19.5.1 are affected. An integer overflow (CWE-190) occurs when GitLab compiles a specially crafted regular expression. Under certain conditions, an unauthenticated remote attacker can execute arbitrary code on the GitLab server. A public exploit is linked in the references.
