        Hello,

I really doubt there will be any exploit for a remotely-exploitable
Skype buffer overflow in any existing tool (e.g. Metasploit),
considering the amount of (copyrighted ?) code that would involve.

On the other hand, tricking someone to make a Skype call using the
aforementionned vulnerability can be very dangerous, for you can
establish full remote control of a PC through various Skype plugins. The
plugin (.DLL) must have been installed on the victim's computer, though.

Sample plugins :
