Today we are releasing versions 16.8.1, 16.7.4, 16.6.6, 16.5.8 for GitLab Community Edition (CE) and Enterprise Edition (EE).

These versions contain important security fixes and we strongly recommend that all GitLab installations be upgraded to one of these versions immediately. You can see details in this security release blog post.

Please forward this alert to appropriate people at your organization and have them subscribe to Security Notices. You can also receive security release blog updates by subscribing to our security release RSS feed or our RSS feed for all GitLab releases.

GitLab releases patches for vulnerabilities in two types of dedicated security releases: a monthly security release, released a week after the feature release (which deploys on the third Thursday of each month), and ad-hoc security releases for critical vulnerabilities. For more information, you can visit our security FAQ.

Sincerely,
GitLab Security Team
