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.
Would it be not much easier (and more portable) if you create a Linux VM in for example VirtualBox? From there you could just follow any Linux guide.
