NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream cxxtools package and not the cxxtools package as distributed by Debian. See How to fix? for Debian:13 relevant fixed versions and status.

query_params.cpp in cxxtools before 2.2.1 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (infinite recursion and crash) via an HTTP query that contains %% (double percent) characters.
