Description

GitLab has remediated an issue in GitLab CE/EE affecting all versions from 12.2 before 18.7.5, 18.8 before 18.8.5, and 18.9 before 18.9.1 that could have allowed an unauthenticated user to cause denial of service by sending specially crafted files to the container registry event endpoint under certain conditions.
