GitLab security update 2020-09-10 21:01:46 (Europe/Amsterdam)


GitLab has released a security update. Due to its severity SNT's instance will be upgraded immediately.

After the upgrade, it became apparent that newer versions of both Ruby and git were needed. This set back the completion of the update by a few hours.

Everything should work as intended now.

A major version upgrade was required to fix the standing security issues, which required an unexpected database upgrade. This took half an hour extra.
