Buffer overflow in MMClient.exe in Indiatimes Messenger 6.0 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash) and possibly execute arbitrary code via a long group name argument to the RenameGroup function in the MMClient.MunduMessenger.1 ActiveX object.

Security readout for executives and security teams

This is an old client-side vulnerability in Indiatimes Messenger 6.0. A malformed group rename value can crash the application and may allow code execution. Business risk is mainly legacy exposure: systems still running this messenger or its ActiveX control could be affected. Exposure appears limited to endpoints with Indiatimes Messenger 6.0 or the MMClient.MunduMessenger.1 ActiveX object installed. The bundle does not identify affected versions beyond 6.0 or any server-side component. Treat this as a legacy hygiene issue unless the software is still present. If found on business systems, prioritize removal or isolation because the impact may extend beyond crashes to code execution. Mitigation focus: Inventory and remove Indiatimes Messenger 6.0 where it is not business-required.; Disable or restrict legacy ActiveX controls on managed endpoints.; Check vendor or archived advisory guidance before assuming a specific patch exists..
