+	  <p>Unrestricted entity expansion can lead to a DoS vulnerability in
+	     REXML. (The CVE identifier will be assigned later.) We strongly
+             recommend to upgrade ruby.
+          </p>
+	  <p>When reading text nodes from an XML document, the REXML parser can
+	     be coerced in to allocating extremely large string objects which
+	     can consume all of the memory on a machine, causing a denial of
+             service.
