I don't know of one off the top of my head, but it is not difficult 
to create one.

You're basically adding a new property to the File product (a text 
field), and have two choices -

o Create a ZClass based product with CMFDefault: File as the base class

o Create a new product which inherits from the CMFDefault File product.

ZClasses are easier to get going, but as I've found are a mess to 
deal with later on.

This one is pretty simple because you're only adding the single 
property to a standard CMF product.

Hope that helps,
