Skype bug may expose user data

Skype Technologies has updated its popular Skype Internet telephony software to fix a security bug that could expose sensitive data.

The flaw could let an attacker construct a Skype hyperlink which, when clicked on by the target, sends a file from the victim's computer to another Skype user, the company said in a security alert published Friday.

An updated version of Skype, release 2.5.0.82, includes a fix for the flaw and was released Wednesday.
