NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream gitlab package and not the gitlab package as distributed by Ubuntu.

GitLab 9.4.x before 9.4.2 does not support LDAP SSL certificate verification, but a verify_certificates LDAP option was mentioned in the 9.4 release announcement. This issue occurred because code was not merged. This is related to use of the omniauth-ldap library and the gitlab_omniauth-ldap gem.
