[CORE-2010-0121] Multiple Vulnerabilities with 8.3 Filename Pseudonyms in Web Servers

Windows handles file names. The affected software is the Windows version
of the following web servers:

   . Nginx Web Server [1]. The way Nginx handles files may differ when
they are requested using their 8.3 alias, and short file or path names
are not correctly handled when applying file handling rules or access
restrictions. By abusing of these flaws an attacker can bypass security
options implemented in the web server. For instance, 'file.shtml' will
become 'FILE~1.SHT'. This will cause the file to be handled as a '.sht'
file, not a '.shtml' file. The result of this is that instead of
processing SSI directives as would normally be the case with a '.shtml'
