How to fix?

There is no fixed version for Ubuntu:16.04 gitlab.

NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream gitlab package and not the gitlab package as distributed by Ubuntu. See How to fix? for Ubuntu:16.04 relevant fixed versions and status.

GitLab Community and Enterprise Editions version 8.4 up to 10.4 are vulnerable to XSS because a lack of input validation in the merge request component leads to cross site scripting (specifically, filenames in changes tabs of merge requests). This is fixed in 10.6.3, 10.5.7, and 10.4.7.
