                    MimeBodyPart.getFileName(): CVE-2005-1105
           Product: javamail
           Version: 1.4.5
          Platform: All
        OS/Version: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: major
          Priority: P4

This issue was originally identified on bugtraq in 2005:

http://marc.info/?l=bugtraq&m=111335615600839&w=2

The vulnerability does not appear to have ever been addressed. Looking at the
latest code in hg, I see:

mail/src/main/java/javax/mail/internet/MimeBodyPart.java

Is still missing any protection against directory traversal in getFileName().
Could this issue please be addressed in the next release? I am happy to provide
a suggested patch if that helps. Thanks!
