The REXML gem before 3.3.1 has some DoS vulnerabilities when it parses an XML that has many specific characters such as <, 0 and %>.

The REXML gem 3.3.2 or later include the patches to fix these vulnerabilities.

This will lock us to the 3.3.x line, meaning if/when 3.4.x is released, this constraint won't allow folks to upgrade to it. So I think something like this might be better:

Suggested change
gem.add_dependency 'rexml', '~> 3.3.2'
gem.add_dependency 'rexml', '>= 3.3.2'

Though, I also wonder if this is more of a thing that users of this gem should worry about, since they might have specific version needs/constraints for rexml.
