The xml-rs crate before 0.8.14 for Rust and Crab allows a denial of service (panic) via an invalid <! token (such as <!DOCTYPEs/%<!A nesting) in an XML document. The earliest affected version is 0.8.9.
Weakness
The product processes an XML document that can contain XML entities with URIs that resolve to documents outside of the intended sphere of control, causing the product to embed incorrect documents into its output.
