Gadu-Gadu 7.20 does not properly handle MS-DOS device names in filenames, which allows remote attackers to (1) cause a denial of service (hang) via an image filename of AUX: sent twice (hang), or (2) write to the LPT1 port via a filename of "LPT1:".

Security readout for executives and security teams

This is a legacy Gadu-Gadu client issue. A remote sender could use special Windows device-style filenames to make the client hang or interact with a printer port. Business urgency depends almost entirely on whether old Gadu-Gadu versions still exist in your environment. Exposure is most likely on legacy Windows endpoints running Gadu-Gadu 7.20. Reference titles suggest versions up to 7.20, but the structured affected list is incomplete, so confirm from vendor or advisory records before broad scoping. Treat this as a legacy exposure cleanup item. It should become urgent only if the affected client is still deployed on business systems or used for external communications. Mitigation focus: Inventory endpoints for Gadu-Gadu 7.20 or older installations.; Retire unsupported Gadu-Gadu clients where business use no longer exists.; Check vendor or trusted advisory guidance for fixed releases..
