# HOW TO EDIT THIS FILE:
# The "handy ruler" below makes it easier to edit a package description.
# Line up the first '|' above the ':' following the base package name, and
# the '|' on the right side marks the last column you can put a character in.
# You must make exactly 11 lines for the formatting to be correct. It's also
# customary to leave one space after the ':' except on otherwise blank lines.

defusedxml: defusedxml (XML bomb protection for Python stdlib modules)
defusedxml:
defusedxml: The results of an attack on a vulnerable XML library can be fairly
defusedxml: dramatic. With just a few hundred Bytes of XML data an attacker can
defusedxml: occupy several Gigabytes of memory within seconds. An attacker can
defusedxml: also keep CPUs busy for a long time with a small to medium size
defusedxml: request. Under some circumstances it is even possible to access local
defusedxml: files on your server, to circumvent a firewall, or to abuse services
defusedxml: to rebound attacks to third parties. This library allows for XML to
defusedxml: be parsed in a manner that avoids these pitfalls.
