The REXML parser in Ruby 1.9.x before 1.9.3 patchlevel 551, 2.0.x before
2.0.0 patchlevel 598, and 2.1.x before 2.1.5 allows remote attackers to
cause a denial of service (CPU and memory consumption) a crafted XML
document containing an empty string in an entity that is used in a large
number of nested entity references, aka an XML Entity Expansion (XEE)
attack. NOTE: this vulnerability exists because of an incomplete fix for
CVE-2013-1821 and CVE-2014-8080.
