Skype Security Blog: Security Vulnerability in Mac Client Has Been Addressed
- moe 16y agoIt is not addressed until they release a fix for Skype 2.8 or explain that it is not affected. Every Mac user I know is still running 2.8 and avoiding Skype5 like the plague because of the broken interface.
- bradleyland 16y 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.
- loganlinn 16y agoAs there were no reports of this vulnerability being exploited in the wild, we did not prompt our users to install this update I don't think that qualifies as logical risk management. To me, it's like saying, "I haven't been in a car wreck so far, so I wont use my seat belt".
- wglb 16y agoMy dad has a saying like that. "Tires are like insurance. When you need it, it is too late."
- abraham 16y agoI'm running v5.1.0.914 but when I "click on Skype -> Check for Updates" I get notified there is "no new updates".
