A vulnerability was found in REXML RubyGems. This package is vulnerable to denial of service (DoS) when parsing a deep XML structure with the same local name attribute. This vulnerability only affects tree parser API like REXML::Document.new, other parser APIs such as stream parser API and SAX2 parser API are not affected.
