Did you install GitLab from source? Check your Git version

Installing GitLab from source requires careful attention to the version of Git used, particularly in the context of the security vulnerability CVE-2014-9390, which does not affect GitLab's Omnibus packages but can impact servers delivering compromised repositories to users. Though GitLab itself is unaffected by this vulnerability, users compiling Git from source must ensure their Git version is protected against it, as the previously recommended Git 2.1.2 is not secure. Administrators using the source installation method should verify their Git version, especially if their GitLab server operates with /usr/local/bin/git, to prevent the risk of hosting or distributing 'poisoned' repositories.
