Skype version fixes flaw

A new version of the popular Skype VOIP application has been released to correct a bug that caused Skype to be misread as a potential security threat.

The Skype 2.0.0.73 for Windows update fixes a flaw that triggered a DEP (Data Execution Protection) warning on systems running Windows XP SP2 with DEP-enabled Intel or AMD processors.

DEP is a set of hardware and software technologies that perform additional checks on memory to help prevent buffer overflow attacks.

The Skype bug meant that users running new computers had to manually configure the application as an exception to turn off the DEP warnings.

This, however, created a scenario where users were being lulled into ignoring DEP warnings because of the Skype bug.

"If you added Skype to some DEP exception list before this release, feel free to upgrade to 2.0.0.73 and then remove it from the exceptions list," the company said.
