security focus reports a file attachment problem:
http://www.securityfocus.com/bid/16271

In short, it seems attackers can trick users into saving files that are
spoofed. Quoting the secunia description:
>The vulnerability is caused due to attachments not being displayed
>correctly in mails. This can be exploited to spoof the file extension
>and the associated file type icon via a combination of overly long
>filenames containing whitespaces and "Content-Type" headers not
>matching the file extension.

It got fixed in 1.5 and in CVS ages ago, but wasn't disclosed until this
January.
