Are you sure this affects us? From the text:
"Affected systems are:
Systems that accept backslash (\) as a path separator, such 
as Windows.
Systems that use case insensitive filesystems such as NTFS 
on Windows, HFS on Mac OS X."

On Linux file names are case sensitive and backslash is not 
valid as a path separator.

Kind regards
Nico
