COMPLETE Availability impact
COMPLETE Summary
Integer overflow in Skype client before 1.4.x.84 on Windows, before 1.3.x.17 on Mac OS, before 1.2.x.18 on Linux, and 1.1.x.6 and earlier allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) via crafted network data with a large Object Counter value, which leads to a resultant heap-based buffer overflow.

NASL family Windows NASL id SKYPE_OVERFLOW_NW.NASL description The remote host is running Skype, a peer-to-peer voice over IP software. The remote version of this software is vulnerable to a heap overflow in the handling of its data structures. An attacker can exploit this flaw by sending a specially crafted network packet to UDP or TCP ports Skype is listening on. A successful exploitation of this flaw will result in code execution on the remote host. In addition, Skype has been reported to contain overflows in the handling of VCards and callto/skype URLs. However, Nessus has not checked for them. last seen 2020-06-01 modified 2020-06-02 plugin id 21209 published 2006-04-11 reporter This script is Copyright (C) 2006-2018 Tenable Network Security, Inc. source https://www.tenable.com/plugins/nessus/21209 title Skype < 1.4.0.84 Multiple Vulnerabilities (uncredentialed check) code # # (C) Tenable Network Security, Inc. # # This script depends on a .nbin plugin if ( NASL_LEVEL < 3000 ) exit(0); include("compat.inc"); if (description) { script_id(21209); script_version("1.16"); script_cvs_date("Date: 2018/07/27 18:38:15"); script_cve_id("CVE-2005-3265", "CVE-2005-3267"); script_bugtraq_id(15190, 15192); script_name(english:"Skype < 1.4.0.84 Multiple Vulnerabilities (uncredentialed check)"); script_summary(english:"Checks for Skype Heap overflow for Windows"); script_set_attribute(attribute:"synopsis", value: "Arbitrary code can be executed on the remote host." ); script_set_attribute(attribute:"description", value: "The remote host is running Skype, a peer-to-peer voice over IP software.
