Denial of Service (DoS)

feedgen is a library for generating web feeds in both ATOM and RSS format.

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Denial of Service (DoS). It allows supplying XML as content for some of the available fields. This XML will be parsed and integrated into the existing XML tree. During this process, feedgen is vulnerable to XML Denial of Service Attacks (e.g. XML Bomb). This becomes a concern in particular if feedgen is used to include content from untrused sources and if XML (including XHTML) is directly included instead of providing plain text content only.

How to fix Denial of Service (DoS)?

Upgrade feedgen to version 0.9.0 or higher.
