Alpine Linux reopens rebuilt GitLab server after attempted exploit

Alpine Linux reopened its rebuilt GitLab server on Oct. 29 with patched Ruby after an attacker targeted a maximum-severity flaw. Crafted CI configurations crashed workers eight times. Alpine found no evidence of server-side code execution or tampering in the packages and releases it checked, but missing logs mean it cannot rule out code execution. Passwords were reset, as was two-factor authentication for all accounts; GitLab password sign-ins require a new password.
