Multiple vulnerabilities have been discovered in uriparser, an Uniform Resource Identifiers (URIs) parsing library.CVE-2018-19198
UriQuery.c allows an out-of-bounds write via a uriComposeQuery* or uriComposeQueryEx* function because the '&' character is mishandled in certain contexts.

UriQuery.c allows an integer overflow via a uriComposeQuery* or uriComposeQueryEx* function because of an unchecked multiplication.
