Merge requests and pipeline are stuck after 16.8.1 security upgrade
Summary
Gitlab's security upgrade from release 16.7.3-ee to 16.8.1-ee generate 2 main issues on our docker self hosted env. It's now impossible for us to do a merge request and to run a pipeline.
- No changes have been made on our CI/CD (gitlab-ci.yml) nor on our runners, all projects are impacted
- Same issue occur on project created on 16.8.1 release with default gitlab-ci.yml
- Our runners are still active and accessible for our gitlab and our projects
Steps to reproduce
- Have a running docker self hosted gitlab, with repositories and their working CI-CD.
- Stop docker container
- Pull 16.8.1-ee image
- Start docker container with this new image, and wait end of migration
- Do a merge request, or launch a pipeline
Example Project
Issue has been detected on a gitlab docker image, I don't have enough ressources to create a new infra
What is the current bug behavior?
- Creating a merge requests is stuck with message "Your merge request is almost ready!" and an infinite spinner. Few days later this status is still the same
- We are not in capacity to manually trigger a pipeline, as we still have an infinite spinner displayed instead of the form allowing to set variables
- Scheduled pipelines have stopped to be executed
What is the expected correct behavior?
- Created merge requests display the status of linkinded pipeline then offer the possibility to do the merge if no conflict are detected
- Pipeline can be manually triggered, on chosen branch with or without setting variables
- Scheduled pipelines are run at specified time interval
Relevant logs and/or screenshots
Merge request created 4 days before and still blocked

Manually triggered pipeline stuck before having the possibility to define varialble

Scheduled pipeline with next run plan for 2 days ago
