Discussion
Skype Technologies Skype Client for Windows File Transfer Remote Buffer Overflow Vulnerability
Skype is prone to a remote buffer-overflow vulnerability because it fails to perform adequate boundary checks on user-supplied data.
Attackers can leverage this issue to execute arbitrary code in the context of the application. Failed attacks will cause denial-of-service conditions.
Skype versions 5.3.0.120 and prior are vulnerable; other versions may also be affected.
