Security hole in Skype can inject files on your PC
The improper handling of URI arguments can initiates the transfer of a single named file from one to another Skype user.
An attacker can construct a malformed URL that can initiate the transfer of a single named file from one Skype user to another. Successful exploitation requires that the user follows a malicious Skype URL and that the recipient has previously authorised the sender.
Affected versions:
Skype for Windows:
All releases prior to and including 2.0.*.104
Release 2.5.*.0 to and including 2.5.*.78
More information can be found here.
The official workaround is available here.
