Each entity refers to another entity several times, the final entity definition contains a small string. Eventually the small string is expanded to several gigabytes.

Instead of nested entities it repeats one large entity with a couple of thousand chars over and over again. The attack isn’t as efficient as the exponential case but it avoids triggering countermeasures of parsers against heavily nested entities.</dd> <dt>external entity expansion</dt> <dd>Entity declarations can contain more than just text for replacement. They can also point to external resources by public identifiers or system identifiers. System identifiers are standard URIs or can refer to local files. The XML parser retrieves the resource with e.g. HTTP or FTP requests and embeds the content into the XML document.</dd> <dt>DTD retrieval</dt> <dd>Some XML libraries like Python’s mod:’xml.dom.pulldom’ retrieve document type definitions from remote or local locations. The feature has similar implications as the external entity expansion issue.</dd> <dt>decompression bomb</dt> <dd>The issue of decompression bombs (aka <a class="reference external" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zip_bomb">ZIP bomb</a>) apply to all XML libraries that can parse compressed XML stream like gzipped HTTP streams or LZMA-ed files.
