The tags are up for it, but no blog post yet: https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/tags https://about.gitlab.com/security-releases.xml

https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/blob/v16.7.2-ee/CHANG... seems to be the tl;dr although strangely I don't see a v16.7.1-ee tag

Ohh yup. Looking at the merge it allows people to reset other users passwords.

I was also able update my instance.
