XML deserializer will not parse documents with a DTD
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
In order to prevent exposure to denial-of-service attacks related to external
entity references and entity expansion, the XML model deserializer now refuses
to parse XML documents containing a DTD (DOCTYPE definition). Since the XML
serializer does not output a DTD, this will not impact typical usage, only
cases where custom-created XML documents are passed to Django's model
deserializer.
