How to fix?

Upgrade Debian:unstable gitlab to version 15.10.8+ds1-2 or higher.

NVD Description

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

A lack of length validation in GitLab CE/EE affecting all versions from 12.4 before 15.6.7, 15.7 before 15.7.6, and 15.8 before 15.8.1 allows an authenticated attacker to create a large Issue description via GraphQL which, when repeatedly requested, saturates CPU usage.
