Could you please give a bit more details about the workaround?

I tried copying config/initializers/rails_safe_load_yaml_patch.rb from upstream merge request !92400 to /etc/gitlab/initializers/rails_safe_load_yaml_patch.rb, but I still get the 500 error (after a full rebuild of the assets). So I guess I am missing a step.

I run gitlab 15.4.2+ds1-1~fto11+3 from bullseye-fasttrack.
