Skype < 6.3.0.105 Multiple Vulnerabilities (credentialed check)

critical Nessus Plugin ID 66695

Language:

Synopsis

The remote Skype client is potentially affected by multiple vulnerabilities.

Description

The version of Skype installed on the remote host is earlier than 6.3.0.105 and is therefore potentially affected by the following vulnerabilities :

 - An error exists related to the Click to Call Service (c2c_service.exe) that could allow a local attacker to cause arbitrary DLL files to be loaded, thus allowing code execution.

 - Several other unspecified errors exist.

Solution

Upgrade to Skype for Windows 6.3.0.105 or later.
