New submission from stealthcopter <ad...@stealthcopter.com>:

Filenames passed to the UU encoding methods (uu.py and uu_codec.py) that 
contain a newline character will overflow data into the UU content section. 
This can potentially be used to inject replace or corrupt data content in a 
file during the decode process.

Initially discussed via the PSRT but deemed low risk so suggested I create a PR 
with the changes and a BPO.
