Synopsis:          Moderate: ruby security update
Issue Date:        2013-03-07
CVE Numbers:       CVE-2013-1821
--

It was discovered that Ruby's REXML library did not properly restrict XML
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)
