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 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…
Does this matter?
High impact if exploited, but EPSS currently rates exploitation as unlikely (7.29%). Schedule it in the normal patch cycle and watch for a rise in EPSS or a public exploit.
Description
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.
