     * Attackers might use this to circumvent security checks:
     * For example, a malicious user might upload a file with the name
     * "foo.exe\0.png". This file name might pass security checks (i.e.
     * checks for the extension ".png"), while, depending on the underlying
     * C library, it might create a file named "foo.exe", as the NUL
     * character is the string terminator in C.
