    # This original vulnerability talked about KCODE, which is no longer
    # used. Instead we are forcing encodings here. But I think the idea is the
    # same - we want to check that Ruby implementations raise an error on
    # #gsub on a string in the UTF-8 encoding but with invalid an UTF-8 byte
    # sequence.
