The version of GitLab installed on the remote host is affected by a vulnerability, as follows:
git log
can display commits in an arbitrary format using its --format
specifiers. This functionality is also exposed to git archive
via the export-subst
gitattribute. When processing the padding operators, there is a integer overflow in pretty.c::format_and_pad_commit()
where a size_t
is stored improperly as an int
, and then added as an offset to a memcpy()
. This overflow can be triggered directly by a user running a command which invokes the commit formatting machinery (e.g., git log --format=...
). It may also be triggered indirectly through git archive via the export-subst mechanism, which expands format specifiers inside of files within the repository during a git archive. This integer overflow can result in arbitrary heap writes, which may result in arbitrary code execution. The problem has been patched in the versions published on 2023-01-17, going back to v2.30.7. Users are advised to upgrade. Users who are unable to upgrade should disable git archive
in untrusted repositories. If you expose git archive via git daemon
, disable it by running git config --global daemon.uploadArch false
. (CVE-2022-41903)Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application’s self-reported version number.
