Nemesis Security Audit Group has discovered a vulnerability in The
Bat!, which potentially can be exploited by malicious people to
compromise a user's system.

The vulnerability is caused due to a boundary error within the
parsing of the email subject header. This can be exploited to cause a
unicode stack-based buffer overflow via a specially-crafted email
message with an overly long subject.
