VoIP provider Skype rolled out an update Friday 26, May 2006, to quash a bug that can let attackers send a file to a recipient without his or her consent, and potentially obtain access to the computer and its data.
All versions of Skype for Windows prior to and including 2.0.x.104, as well as the beta 2.5.x.0 to and including 2.5.x.78, are vulnerable. Skype told users that they should update to patched versions 2.0.0.105 and the beta 2.5.0.82 from the Web site as soon as possible. Listen to this tip here
