  file name properly.");

  functionality to remove NULL characters from the raw header value before it is
  decoded. This addresses the vulnerability, however, there is still an exploit
  situation because certain mail clients, such as Microsoft Outlook, use a '.' in
  place of the NULL. Hence, a file name of 'test<NUL>vbs' that will now be treated
  as 'testvbs' may be treated as 'test.vbs' by the mail client. In such situations
  you would need to change your File Filter rule from '*.vbs' to just '*vbs' to
  protect against the exploit.");
