Skype has announced that it has initiated a remediation to combat a critical security hole in version 3.6 of its VoIP software for windows.
It was earlier discovered that when a specially crafted website is visited, attackers are able to inject malicious code onto a PC and execute it with the user’s privileges. It would then be possible to infect the computer with contaminants. As a result, it was discovered that there was a flaw in the URI handler skype4com, which is created when Skype is installed. Short strings can then be used to provoke a memory violation in this handler, allowing code to be written into memory.
With the Zero Day Initiative, it will be possible to correct this anomaly and for users with old version of Skype, they are advised to install the latest version as soon as possible in order to be free of infiltration by hackers. It is not clear whether this flaw entered the software with the update for the URI hole that was made public just prior to this update. But it is clear that Skype has once again closed critical holes furtively without informing users at all.
