entity expansion. An attacker could use this flaw to cause a denial of
service by tricking a Ruby application using REXML to read text nodes from
specially-crafted XML content, which will result in REXML consuming large
amounts of system memory. (CVE-2013-1821)
All users of Ruby are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which
contain backported patches to resolve this issue.");
