What is CVE-2024-7610?

A Denial of Service (DoS) vulnerability has been identified in GitLab CE/EE that affects multiple versions of the product. The issue arises from an attacker's ability to exploit catastrophic backtracking during the parsing of results from Elasticsearch. This can lead to a substantial degradation of service, making the affected instances of GitLab unresponsive. It's crucial for users of versions starting from 15.9 up to 17.0.6, and 17.1 up to 17.1.4, as well as those on 17.2 before 17.2.2 to take immediate action, such as applying security patches or upgrading to secure versions to mitigate this risk. For further details, please refer to GitLab Issue #468917.
