NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream crit package and not the crit package as distributed by Oracle. See How to fix? for Oracle:8 relevant fixed versions and status.

Previously, resolving relative paths containing parent directory ('..') segments performed string conversions and buffer rewrites on each step, resulting in quadratic time complexity and high memory allocation overhead. Now, path resolution operates on a byte buffer using index-based backtracking for '..' segments, eliminating the quadratic time complexity and significantly reducing memory allocations.
