Any word on whether this affects version 2 of Skype for Mac OS X (the old one), the current Skype 5.1, or both? Neither the article nor the linked blog post would say.
If the former, I don't imagine they'll update it, and this might finally force me to grab 5.1.
- morganpyne 15y agoI'm been studiously avoiding the update since inadvertently installing it a while ago and backtracking furiously shortly afterwards. I hope we get some details on the versions affected and if the problem is present in v2 that we also get a patch for that. If Skype uses this as an excuse to force the v5 upgrade they will have a lot of very unhappy people on their hands.
- bradleyland 15y ago2.8 is not affected. Straight from a Skype PR rep: https://twitter.com/#!/chaimhaas/status/66652911769354240 https://twitter.com/#!/chaimhaas/status/66652911769354240 "chaimhaas: @bradleyland @skype Nope, Skype 2.x does not have this vulnerability." There was speculation that the vuln might have been introduced with the changes to the rendering engine used in Skype 5. It appears that this might be the case.
