NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream uriparser package and not the uriparser package as distributed by Centos. See How to fix? for Centos:7 relevant fixed versions and status.

An issue was discovered in uriparser before 0.9.0. UriQuery.c allows an out-of-bounds write via a uriComposeQuery* or uriComposeQueryEx* function because the '&' character is mishandled in certain contexts.
