관찰된 예시

참고 자료	설명
CVE-1999-0012	Multiple web servers allow restriction bypass using 8.3 names instead of long names
CVE-2001-0795	Server allows remote attackers to obtain source code of CGI scripts via URLs that contain MS-DOS conventions such as (1) upper case letters (CWE-178) or (2) 8.3 file names (CWE-58).
CVE-2005-0471	Multi-Factor Vulnerability. Product generates temporary filenames using long filenames, which become predictable in 8.3 format.

잠재적 완화 방법

Phases : System Configuration
Disable Windows from supporting 8.3 filenames by editing the Windows registry. Preventing 8.3 filenames will not remove previously generated 8.3 filenames.

취약점 매핑 메모

근거 : This CWE entry is at the Variant level of abstraction, which is a preferred level of abstraction for mapping to the root causes of vulnerabilities.
댓글 : Carefully read both the name and description to ensure that this mapping is an appropriate fit. Do not try to 'force' a mapping to a lower-level Base/Variant simply to comply with this preferred level of abstraction.

메모

Probably under-studied.
