Name        : nodejs-qs
Product     : Fedora 21
Version     : 0.6.6
Release     : 3.fc21
URL         : https://github.com/visionmedia/node-querystring
Summary     : Query string parser for Node.js
Description :
This is a query string parser for node and the browser supporting nesting,
as it was removed from 0.3.x, so this library provides the previous and
commonly desired behavior (and twice as fast). Used by express, connect
and others.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Update Information:

The qs module has the ability to create sparse arrays during parsing. By specifying a high index it is possible to create a large array that will eventually take up all the allocated memory of the running process, resulting in a crash.
