CVE-2005-3267: 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...

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.

Security readout for executives and security teams

This affects very old Skype desktop clients. A remote attacker could send crafted network data that crashes the client. The source bundle describes denial of service, not proven code execution. Business urgency is mainly legacy-risk cleanup: remove or upgrade unsupported Skype installations if they still exist. Modern environments are unlikely to run these 2005-era Skype clients, but exposure exists wherever legacy desktop images, unmanaged endpoints, or archived application packages still contain affected versions. Treat this as a legacy hygiene issue unless vulnerable clients are confirmed in use. If found, prioritize removal because the software is obsolete and remotely crashable. Mitigation focus: Remove obsolete Skype clients from managed endpoints.; Upgrade any retained clients beyond the fixed version thresholds.; Block unsupported Skype software through endpoint management policy..
