Machine-written summary
Summary written by Claude Haiku from the source advisory. Not reviewed by a person.
The xml-rs package, versions 0.8.9 up to but not including 0.8.14, is vulnerable to a denial of service. An attacker who can supply an XML document to an application that parses it with xml-rs can trigger a panic by sending a malformed invalid token beginning with "<!". Upgrade xml-rs to version 0.8.14 or later.
