Summary
This post addresses a security vulnerability (CVE-2014-9390) related to installing GitLab from source, specifically when Git is also compiled from source. It advises users who installed from source to check their Git version and upgrade if necessary to prevent their GitLab server from being used to deliver 'poisoned' Git repositories. It reinforces the recommendation to use Omnibus packages for a more secure and simplified installation.
