The Bat! Denial of Service Vulnerability

A problem occurs with The Bat! when it is configured to save attachments seperately from the body of a message. It is possible to include a MS-DOS device name (such as CON, AUX, PRN, etc.) in the filename of the attachment to cause a denial of service to an e-mail client with this configuration.

Mitigation:

Ensure that The Bat! is not configured to save attachments seperately from the body of a message.
