How to fix?

Upgrade Debian:12 gitolite3 to version 3.6.9-1 or higher.

NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream gitolite3 package and not the gitolite3 package as distributed by Debian. See How to fix? for Debian:12 relevant fixed versions and status.

Gitolite before 3.6.9 does not (in certain configurations involving @all or a regex) properly restrict access to a Git repository that is in the process of being migrated until the full set of migration steps has been completed. This can allow valid users to obtain unintended access.
