Description

The vulnerability is caused by a tilde character "~" in a GET or OPTIONS request, which
could allow remote attackers to disclose 8.3 filenames (short names). In 2010, Soroush Dalili
and Ali Abbasnejad discovered the original bug (GET request). This was publicly disclosed in
2012. In 2014, Soroush Dalili discovered that newer IIS installations are vulnerable with OPTIONS.
