Skype: a small text message to a big crash – ZDNet France

The flaws popular applications are sometimes surprising and particularly simple to apply. Here we discussed the possibility of planting Apple Messages through a special SMS composed of special characters, Latin and Arabic.

The maneuver was a little complicated … this is not at all the case to drop Skype. According to VentureBeat, just repeatedly send the message ‘http: //’ IM causes the near-final crash of the Microsoft application at the recipient … The bug affect Windows, iOS and Android OS but not X.

Worse, the application can not be restarted because the presence of the message in the history will crash again … The joke could also crash the Skype of the issuer, if Windows …

Skype teams have confirmed this annoying bug and are working on a fix patch. “We are aware of the problem and working to resolve it,” says one.
