i kinda wish that some people who post security vulns stop being so vague and cherry-picky sometimes, like you could have written in your post that it only affects windows and it affects only a certain range of versions of the program. would have clearned things up better imo. interesting to know, though.
You should have read the post more carefully. The CVE affects every OS. Just the first shown example is Windows only.
Also, the relevant commits are outlined in the first paragraph. This article is not for the stupid user it's a technical analysis on a few ways to exploit it and for those cases the commits are more relevant than the version. Also saying which versions are affected is not that easy, commits can be backported into an older version by for example the packager.
