Summary
CVE-2024-35176 is a denial-of-service vulnerability affecting the REXML gem, an XML toolkit for Ruby, prior to version 3.2.6. The issue arises when REXML encounters an XML document with a large number of "<" characters in an attribute value. This vulnerability could potentially impact users who process untrusted XML data.
