 * This exception is thrown in case of an invalid file name.
 * A file name is invalid, if it contains a NUL character.
 * 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.
