I have to know if a specific vulnerablity in TCL 8.4 affects Windows platform
The vulnerability is: http://www.securityfocus.com/bid/15259/info
As per the link:
Operating systems with no difference in the maximum path lengths among differing file systems are not affected by this issue
I am using TCL on windows and want to know if this vulnerablity affects TCL on windows and how ?
Further, how can a person exploit this vulnerability on Windows ?
Thanks
The windows header files define MAX_PATH – as 260 – as the usual maximum path size. This isn’t really universally applied. There are a number of ways to bypass this limit, in which case the effective path limit is, well, unlimited. Or 32,767 characters. Whichever is shorter.
Naming, Files, Paths and Namespaces has more info.
