QuoVadis Posted February 13, 2018 Report Posted February 13, 2018 https://capec.mitre.org/data/definitions/471.html http://www.zdnet.com/article/skype-cannot-fix-security-bug-without-a-massive-code-rewrite/ A security flaw in Skype's updater process can allow an attacker to gain system-level privileges to a vulnerable computer. The bug, if exploited, can escalate a local unprivileged user to the full "system" level rights -- granting them access to every corner of the operating system. But Microsoft, which owns the voice- and video-calling service, said it won't immediately fix the flaw, because the bug would require too much work. 1 Quote
