Description
===========

- CVE-2021-22205 (arbitrary code execution)

An issue has been discovered in GitLab CE/EE affecting all versions
starting from 11.9. GitLab was not properly validating image files that
is passed to a file parser which resulted in a remote command
execution. The issue is fixed in GitLab versions 13.10.3, 13.9.6 and
13.8.8.

- CVE-2021-28965 (incorrect calculation)

When parsing and serializing a crafted XML document, the REXML gem
(including the one bundled with Ruby) can create a wrong XML document
whose structure is different from the original one. The impact of this
issue highly depends on context, but it may lead to a vulnerability in
some programs that are using REXML. The issue is fixed in version 3.2.5
of the REXML gem.

Impact
======

An attacker can crash or execute arbitrary code on the affected server
by providing a maliciously crafted XML or image file.
